ETHICAL POLICY

At Silver JD, we are committed to conducting our wholesale jewellery business with the utmost integrity and ethical standards. Our values are rooted in sustainability, responsibility, and the well-being of our customers, staff, and the environment. As a UK-based wholesale jewellery provider, we strive to lead by example in the industry, ensuring that every step of our operations aligns with ethical principles.

  1. Responsible Sourcing & Practices

We take pride in our responsibility towards the environment. To minimize our ecological footprint, we use compostable corn starch packing materials for all our jewellery shipments. These materials are biodegradable, reducing the accumulation of non-recyclable waste in landfills. By choosing compostable packaging, we aim to contribute to a cleaner and greener future for our planet. To maintain the integrity of our products, we currently also use plastic bags. However, these are becoming widely recyclable throughout the UK too.

We are fully committed to sourcing and selling only non-conflict diamonds. We ensure that our diamonds are ethically sourced and do not support any conflict-related activities. Our dedication to responsible diamond sourcing is a testament to our commitment to promoting peace and ethical practices within the jewellery industry.

Additionally, the silver we use is non-conflict and 50% recycled. Our silver suppliers also have strict labour rights for their employees. These initiatives ensure we are driving the best and most ethical practice within the industry.

  1. Quality & Authenticity Assurance 

Quality and authenticity are of paramount importance to us. Before any piece of jewellery goes to market, it undergoes rigorous QC testing. We utilise advanced testing methods through the national Assay office to ensure that our customers receive genuine and accurately described products. This attention to detail guarantees our clients’ confidence in the products they purchase from us.

  1. Upholding Ethical and Professional Standards

Silver JD is a proud member of the National Association of Jewellers (NAJ). Our membership demonstrates our commitment to ethical and professional business practices within the jewellery industry. We adhere to the NAJ’s code of conduct, which reflects our dedication to customer satisfaction, transparency, and ethical standards

  1. Ethical Supply Chain: SEDEX Audits Reinforce Our Commitment

The factory we work with undergo regular audits by SEDEX, a globally recognised organisation that promotes ethical and responsible business practices in supply chains. These audits help us ensure that our operations meet the highest standards of social, ethical, and environmental responsibility.

Our partnership with SEDEX reinforces our commitment to maintaining ethical practices throughout our supply chain.
