In a world where fast fashion and mass production seem to be taking over, the need for real value is growing. For jewelry with meaning. For materials that stand the test of time. I believe that sustainability starts at the basics: precious metal, craftsmanship and an honest choice for quality.
Because yes – sustainable jewelry has a price. But what you get in return is priceless.
Why sustainable jewelry?
Sustainable jewelry is more than a trend. It is a conscious counter-movement. A choice for timelessness instead of temporary gadgets. In the jewelry industry, that means:
• transparency about materials
• high quality that lasts for generations
• and preventing overproduction through unique, small-scale collections.
At Donna Dorée I therefore consciously choose to use precious metals such as sterling silver 925 and real gold. Even if there is a gold layer over it - your jewelry always remains valuable, because underneath that layer shines real silver.
The power of precious metals
Sterling silver is not only beautiful, but also sustainable. It can be reused, recycled and retains its value. Our own collections consist of jewelry with a silver base - often with a gold plating or vermeil layer, so that you can enjoy the luxurious look of gold and the power of silver.
And does that layer wear off over time? Then the silver appears. True beauty never fades – it just changes shape.
Vintage: sustainable and unique
In addition to their own collections, Donna Dorée also offers a carefully composed vintage jewelry collection of real silver and real gold. These gems have already lived a life, written a story – and may continue that with you.
Vintage jewelry is the epitome of slow fashion: unique, full of character and completely circular. By giving these jewelry a second life, you are choosing a future with less waste and more meaning.
Quality you can feel (and see)
At Donna Dorée, authenticity is key. That is why our own designed collections of silver and gold jewellery are inspected by Waarborg Holland and provided with a legally recognised hallmark and a responsibility mark. This way you can be sure that your jewellery is not only beautiful – but also honest and real.
Why choose sustainable jewelry?
• You invest in quality, not quantity
• You contribute to a world with less waste
• You wear jewelry that is dear to your skin (and heart)
• You create a personal collection full of meaning
Slow luxury: the future of jewelry
I – as in Donna Dorée – believe in slow luxury. In jewelry that is more than a trend. That you wear every day with love – and one day pass on to someone else. Every piece we make or find is designed or selected with care, time and attention.
That is not mass production. That is craftsmanship. And that is the power of sustainable jewelry.
