Packaging
Our matchbox style packaging is made from eco friendly cardboard which has 40-99% recycled content. Our boxes are also fully recyclable at facilities across the UK, making them practically perfect in every way.
We have done our utmost to eliminate unnecessary plastic packaging items in our supply chain, and are committed to reviewing our environmental impact on a regular basis.
Our Values
We carefully consider the impact of everything we create.
Materials
All of our jewellery is made from 925 sterling silver, making our pieces easy to repair or recycle. Any excess silver or imperfect pieces created during the manufacturing process can simply be melted down and used to cast another piece, limiting any waste during the manufacturing process. Unwanted and unloved jewellery can also be recycled.
Our Makers
All of our jewellery is made by hand using traditional silversmithing techniques. Our pieces are made by a family owned business in Sitapura Jewellery Zone in Jaipur, India.
We believe everyone should be given a fair living wage and is entitled to a clean, safe working environment. It has been extremely important for us to build a supply chain with companies who share the same values as us. We have carefully selected our makers based on this criteria and have taken the time to travel to India to visit the workshops where our pieces are made, and to create a personal connection with the artisans who make our pieces.
We will continue to work closely with our makers to ensure our values and standards are maintained.
Quality
Quality and care are at the heart of our business ethics. All of our pieces are made by hand by a family of silversmiths which form an ISO 9001 accredited business. This quality management system ensures that a a high standard of quality and care is put into each piece of jewellery that is produced.
About us
At Adornment Archive we create jewellery that has the ability to transport the wearer to the places that inspire them
Adornment Archive
Adornment Archive was founded by Ellen Thomas and Amy Levinson. The pair met whilst on Northumbria Universities’ award winning Designers in Residence Scheme.
Ellen is an alumni of the Crafts Council’s Hothouse Scheme and spent 5 years working with the internationally acclaimed United Visual Artists. During that time she worked on projects with Hermes, Cartier and Selfridges. Amy has spent 6 years working for the UK’s leading prop supplier creating bespoke build, immersive event spaces for clients such as Blizzard Entertainments, Pokemon and Runescape.
The Idea
Adornment Archive is modern contemporary British jewellery brand. Our idea is to create jewellery which has been inspired by architecture from around the world. We are architecture lovers, explorers, and design geeks who love nothing more than an afternoon walking around a new city soaking up the details of a facade. Those details inform our new collections. We are passionate about design and it is our mission to create pieces worthy of archiving each with its own story of the places that inspired it.
Our Style
We create bold minimalistic and timeless pieces for those looking for something different. We love fashion and believe in individuality and self expression.
