We encourage mindful consumption. We encourage people to curate a collection of pieces that they can wear indefinitely, as well as renew or rework those that they don't. So to extend the life cycle of our jewellery, we invite customers to repair or recycle their Jewellery pieces with us directly. In addition we provide green eco tips to encourage and educate you on how to keep your jewellery looking its best for years to come.

Specialising in bespoke jewellery, several of our commissions are made using a customer's own jewellery. Redesigning an existing piece to breathe new life into the gemstones, or melting down the gold and turning it into a unique piece.  

Our jewellery by its very nature is a circular product.

Our Bespoke service
Our Repair service

We work with 3 gold suppliers. Our recycled gold comes from an Australian refinery. The gold we use is high quality, refined and 90% recycled from within Australasia. The other 10% is Alluvial gold sourched  from the South Island of New Zealand.

For our bespoke Jewellery we work with Ethically Fair Trade mined Gold from Borneo. This gold is mined by indegiounous woman, under a fairtrade project runned by our good friend Meri in Bali. 

Our Gold chain and findings are high quality and 100% recycled gold. We use 2 suppliers, one based in Pforzheim, Germany and the other in the USA.  

SILVER

Our pure silver material comes from Umicore Precious Metals and is 100% recycled. This refiner has been listed as Conflict Free Smelter by the Responsible Minerals Initiative.

We're continually working on ways to minimize our carbon footprint, through logistics, waste reduction, and aim for 100% recycled packaging. We strive for ‘zero waste,' we reclaim, recycle, repurpose wherever possible. Working with Gold and Silver, all excess metals are collected to be recycled. 

We have reduced the amount of harmful acids used in the jewellery making process, in some cases mixing natural ingredients such as vinegar or lemon juice to make alternatives. We use Eco friendly polishing products and Non-toxic pickle to remove oxidation after soldering.

We avoid single use plastics where we can. In 2021 we introduced biodegradable ziplock bags as part of our packaging solution. We minimize shipments as much as possible through combined orders and hand carry while visiting. 

For our look books and collection cards, we print on sustainably sourced paper with vegetable inkt.

We enjoy participating in beach clean ups. Pilates, breathwork and Kundalini Yoga are amongst the things that give me positive vibes.

Experiencing the Tsunami while living in Phuket in 2004 was the start of making a conscious effort to partner with several charities throughout the years. Natalie sees importance in rebuilding and rehabilitation, she has assisted organizations and places that have been – and are still – close to her heart.

‘Natalie Dissel Jewellery’ has been a socially conscious company from the start, training the workforce, paying a fair price for their labor and skills. In 2008 a Dutch documentary was made covering her ‘Trade not Aid’ Ethos while working in Bangkok.

Natalie travelled several times to Africa and collaborated with UK fair-trade brand MADE on their new boutique range. Designed in the slums of Nairobi and launched in the UK, MADE won the Ethical design award in 2008. Where after Natalie worked charitable in Sri Lanka, assisting the export development board, to promote Sri Lanka’s gemstones, support small scale Jewellery workshops.
