Sustainability Policy
At Kingsdown Rings, we are committed to minimizing our environmental footprint and promoting responsible practices throughout all aspects of our business operations.

To uphold this commitment, we adhere to the following principles:
1. Ethical and Responsible Sourcing: - Our workshops are proud members of the Responsible Jewellery Council (RJC), ensuring that our sourcing practices meet the highest ethical standards. - Our diamonds, whether lab-grown or mined, are sourced exclusively from conflict-free suppliers, supporting communities and avoiding the perpetuation of human rights abuses.
2. Environmental Stewardship: - We prioritise the use of 100% recycled materials in our jewellry, reducing our reliance on virgin resources and minimising waste. - Our packaging materials are personalised locally reducing our carbon footprint and supporting local businesses. - We have eliminated single-use plastics from our operations and are transitioning to recycled gift bags and tissue paper to further reduce our environmental impact. - We implement proper waste management practices, recycling materials wherever possible and reusing packaging materials from our suppliers to extend their lifecycle.
3. Sustainable Transportation: - We are committed to reducing emissions from our transportation activities and plan to explore the adoption of hybrid or electric vehicles by the end of this year. - We always car share when visiting venues or on appointments.
4. Continuous Improvement: - We are dedicated to ongoing assessment and improvement of our sustainability practices, seeking innovative solutions to further minimize our environmental impact. - We plan to actively engage with our customers, suppliers to foster a culture of sustainability and accountability.
At Kingsdown Rings, sustainability is not just a goal; it is a fundamental value that guides every decision we make. By embracing sustainable practices, we strive to create a brighter, more beautiful future for our planet and all who inhabit it.
