Eternate Sustainability Report

At Eternate, we believe that beauty carries a responsibility: to our planet, to the people who craft our jewelry, and to the communities that sustain us. Every piece we bring to life is guided by purpose: to make something enduring, both in design and in impact.

Our sustainability philosophy rests on three pillars: protecting the environment, empowering people, and giving back to the community. These pillars are inspired by the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs) and define how we design, source and grow: with integrity, empathy, and accountability.

Our commitment to sustainability begins with our materials. We use only Kimberley Process–certified natural diamonds, ensuring every stone is conflict-free and ethically mined. Alongside natural gems, we embrace lab-grown diamonds and gemstones, offering a modern, sustainable alternative that dramatically reduces environmental impact. Uniting heritage craftsmanship with innovative responsibility, this dual approach allows us to create jewelry that is both timeless and transparent.

All of our jewelry is crafted from 100% recycled gold, sourced responsibly to minimize the need for new mining. This practice significantly reduces our carbon footprint while helping protect ecosystems from industrial extraction. Recycled gold holds the same purity and brilliance as newly mined metal but tells a story of renewal and respect. By repurposing what already exists, we bring circularity and meaning to every piece we make.

What's beautiful can also be responsible. Our packaging redefines luxury: stunning in form, responsible in spirit. Crafted from FSC-certified Shiro Alga Carta paper, made with algae biomass collected from the Venetian lagoon our packaging is recyclable, biodegradable, and free from chlorine, acids, and heavy metals, ensuring that every box is as gentle on the planet as it is beautiful to the eye. With its soft, natural texture, this material reflects Eternate’s belief that true luxury is both elegant and environmentally conscious.

We are committed to ensuring that our sustainability values extend beyond production. That’s why as Eternate, we partner with DHL GoGreen and UPS Carbon Neutral for shipping, ensuring every delivery helps offset carbon emissions. These partnerships allow us to contribute to verified global projects focused on renewable energy and reforestation. We believe in a more sustainable global network, where luxury moves responsibly.

Women have always defined the beauty and spirit of jewelry, yet for too long, their voices were missing from its leadership. At Eternate, we’re rewriting that story: empowering women to lead, create and inspire the future of our industry. We are proud to have signed the UN Women’s Empowerment Principles (WEPs), reinforcing our dedication to gender equality and inclusive leadership. Women are the heartbeat of our company; leading in design, strategy and innovation. We actively create opportunities for their growth and advancement, ensuring that every woman at Eternate is supported, heard and valued. Equality is not a statement for us; it’s a daily practice embedded in our culture.

Ethical craftsmanship lies at the core of who we are. We collaborate only with partners and suppliers who share our values of fair wages, safe working conditions, and respect for human rights. Every link in our supply chain is chosen carefully to reflect transparency and integrity. By maintaining these high standards, we ensure that every Eternate piece brings joy inside and out, representing not only your story, but also a story of fairness and dignity.

At Eternate, we believe that a thriving company is built by thriving people. We invest deeply in employee development, offering programs that foster learning, creativity and personal growth. Through our internships and mentorship & coaching initiatives, we help young talents and employees refine their craft and leadership skills. Our focus on employee wellbeing ensures a healthy workplace and work-life balance. These investments allow our team to flourish, creating an environment where excellence and purpose go hand in hand.

At Eternate, we stand for inclusion, equity and ethical leadership. Every voice is empowered and makes an impact. We embrace diversity across all levels of our organization, recognizing that different perspectives inspire better ideas and solutions and an even deeper empathy. Through ongoing ethics management training and transparent communication, we nurture a workplace built on mutual respect, accountability and collegiality. 

Sustainability means giving back to the planet that inspires us. Eternate partners with One Tree Planted, contributing annually to global reforestation projects that help restore forests, create habitats for wildlife, and absorb carbon from the atmosphere. Each tree planted is a symbol of renewal, a small yet powerful act that grows over generations. Through these efforts, we help nurture a greener, healthier planet for tomorrow.

We are proud supporters of Water.org, an organization that brings safe water and sanitation to communities in need. Access to clean water transforms lives; improving health, education and opportunity. Our yearly donations help fund sustainable water solutions that empower families and strengthen communities. To us, water represents life itself and supporting its access is a commitment to human dignity and wellbeing.

At Eternate, giving back is more than a program; it’s a promise. We choose our partners carefully, ensuring that every initiative we support aligns with measurable impact and long-term change. Whether through environmental restoration or social empowerment, we aim to create ripple effects of good that extend far beyond our jewelry. Sustainability, to us, means crafting beauty that leaves a legacy of kindness.

At Eternate, our journey toward sustainability is ever-evolving. Each year, we seek new ways to deepen our impact, refine our practices, and challenge what responsible luxury can look like. We remain guided by the principles of transparency, empathy and excellence; ensuring that every step we take honors the environment, and all the people and communities in our value chain. Together, we’re building a future where beauty is created with care and passed on with joy, from one generation to the next.
