Our Commitment to Responsible Sourcing
At Thousand Fibres, we believe that creating exquisite jewellery should align with our core values. In collaboration with our carefully chosen partners, we prioritise quality, resilience, and enduring appeal when selecting our materials.
Fairmined Gold
We proudly incorporate Fairmined gold, a certification that guarantees responsible origins. This initiative ensures traceability and supports artisanal and small-scale mining communities. Fairmined gold is extracted using best practices that prioritise environmental preservation and community development.
By choosing Thousand Fibres, you're not just adorning yourself with beautiful jewellery; you're supporting a more sustainable and ethical approach to craftsmanship.
9ct Solid Yellow Gold
Our 9ct gold pieces are designed to be lifelong companions. The subtle warmth of 9ct yellow gold makes it perfect for everyday wear, while its durability surpasses that of higher carat options.
Our goal is to maximise the use of certified recycled gold across our collections. When newly mined gold is necessary, we ensure it's traceable to suppliers certified against international sustainability standards.
Sterling Silver
Our jewellery features 925 sterling silver, a global industry standard renowned for its quality. Composed of 92.5% pure silver, this alloy offers exceptional durability, making it ideal for everyday wear. In our ongoing commitment to sustainability, we've transitioned to using 100% recycled silver across our collections. This shift not only reduces our environmental footprint but also enhances the traceability of our precious materials.

18ct Gold Vermeil
Our gold vermeil pieces offer the luxurious look and feel of solid gold at a more accessible price point. We apply a substantial 2.5-micron layer of 18ct gold over our high-quality 925 sterling silver base, meeting and exceeding industry standards. This process results in a finish that's far more durable and lustrous than traditional gold plating.

From start to finish
At Thousand Fibres, our commitment to sustainability and ethical practices extends beyond our choice of materials. We consider every step of our production process, from initial design to final packaging. Our suppliers are carefully selected based on their adherence to international sustainability standards, ensuring responsible sourcing and production methods.
We continually strive to exceed these standards, implementing innovative practices that minimise waste, reduce energy consumption, and support fair labour practices. Our packaging is crafted from recycled and recyclable materials, and we offset carbon emissions from our deliveries.
By choosing Thousand Fibres, you're not just acquiring a beautiful piece of jewellery; you're supporting a brand that weaves ethical considerations and environmental responsibility into every aspect of its creation. From the recycled metals in our workshop to the eco-friendly packaging in your hands, each piece tells a story of conscious craftsmanship.
Our Future
We can and, always will, strive to do better and are constantly working on sourcing cleaner, more eco-friendly alternatives to everything involved in running our brand. Whether that's our walk-to-work commute, the natural rubber-based tape used to seal our deliveries or the eco-alliances we support through our manufacturing partners - we endeavour to do our very best for the future of our planet.
