Jewellery the next generation would be proud to own
The biggest responsibility we have right now is to preserve and protect our planet. Not just for ourselves but for future generations as well.
The EJA stamp that appears on every piece of jewellery we make tells those who come after us that you made a responsible decision, that you care about the environment and that you care about human rights.
If we sound right for you, we’d love to hear from you!

Two trees planted for every piece of jewellery we sell
That’s our commitment to help offset the carbon cost of the jewellery we make
Because our responsibility doesn’t end when our jewellery leaves the workshop
The precious metals, diamonds and gemstones we use to make your jewellery are sourced in the most environmentally and socially responsible way possible.
Even so, manufacturing and transport still produce greenhouse gases we need to take responsibility for.
That’s why we do more than just prefer greener materials.

When it comes to diamonds and ethics, is there a best choice?

What happens when the gold runs out?

#realisrare … Really?
If you’re interested in diamonds and diamond jewellery, it’s very likely you’ve seen the slogan “Real is Rare”. It was the centerpiece of the diamond mining industry’s most recent awareness campaign that now often shows up as a hashtag. It popped up again...
Jewellery ethics – it doesn’t start and finish with diamonds!

Recycled Precious Metals – Why they’re our first choice (Part 1)
All about Gold If you’ve been following Ethical Jewellery Australia (EJA) for any length of time, you’ll probably have noticed we always (and I mean always) mention that the precious metals we use in the jewellery we make for our customers – gold, platinum and...
The diamond world is at war. Whose side are you on?
As demand slumps and prices drop, the diamond industry looks to be heading into a crisis phase — at least that’s what industry insiders are saying. Couple that with increasing competition between mine-origin and lab-created producers and you have a recipe for...
Cosmetics, Netflix and Climate Change – why is it so hard to do the right thing?
Every morning Melinda and I go for a walk around the neighbourhood to get some exercise and, more importantly, to talk.We discuss all kinds of things. We talk about things that affect us directly, and we talk about a bunch of much bigger issues. Things relating to the...
