The Covid-19 era has been about much more than a virus. It has also been a time of reflection, giving us plenty of reasons why we should take care of the earth and our environment. 

So once 2022 came around, many of us resolved to live a more intentional lifestyle and to be compassionate to humankind, as well as to nature. Since we are all consumers, the first baby step we can take is to change the way we shop. Many brands across the world are slowly taking a more sustainable and ethical approach in producing and marketing their goods. This roundup of jewellery brands that are armed with thoughtful missions, is an example of how bijou lovers can still manage to look fab and fine, while also being eco-friendly and harm-free to nature.
