Heritage prioritizes the environment
Our goal at Arven is to create products of the highest quality with the lowest possible impact on the environment.
Arven uses a holistic approach that aims to reduce the negative environmental impact across all parts of our production. We believe that sustainable development is about balancing social, environmental and economic principles. We want to proactively contribute to reducing the impact of the major environmental challenges our planet faces. We want to meet these challenges through innovation and to make positive changes for the betterment of our customers, employees and the industry as a whole.
Low environmental impact
Every piece of jewelry, every piece of cutlery is made with longevity in mind, from design to prototyping, development and production. We highly value natural resources and aim to be environmentally conscious at every stage of the production process. Our strategy is focused on solid craftsmanship, increased traceability of materials and 100% use of recycled metals, while ensuring ethical and sustainable business practices.
Recycled metals
We use silver and gold in our jewelry and cutlery, so this is the most effective place to start our journey towards circularity. Since gold and silver are renewable resources, they can be recycled repeatedly without losing either their value or purity. In fact, we use 100% recycled silver and gold!
A complete transition to recycled silver and gold has reduced our carbon footprint and water consumption along with other environmental and social impacts. Recycled silver is approximately 10 times less carbon intensive than conventional silver, and recycled gold is a full 25 times less carbon intensive than conventional gold.
Diamonds
For many decades, Arven has had the same diamond supplier for use in our jewelry. This is important to ensure both good and consistent quality of the stones, but also the security that the diamonds are sourced in an ethical manner. We will only use diamonds that our supplier can document the origin of.
Innovation
Although we have a deep respect and love for traditional techniques for producing gold and silver products, we see that our industry needs innovative solutions to develop, become more efficient and reduce its impact on the environment. A few years ago we took the step and started working on this internally. Our employees today use both digital design programs and 3D printers.
