Each piece of jewelry from our studio is finished by hand with great care and maintains subtle qualities from our jewelers touch.  All of our pieces are fabricated in small made to order groupings, so as to never over produce and ensure materials are consciously consumed.  Every piece from Faeber Studio is produced in NYC’s Diamond District through long-time partnerships with local artisans, refineries and family owned businesses.

Wear your Faeber piece with special care. We recommend removing your jewelry while applying makeup/lotion, swimming, exercising, and showering. Avoid coming into contact with harsh chemicals, and store your jewelry in a cool dry place.

We pride ourselves on minimizing waste and environmental damage through mindful production practices and material use. All of our jewelry is hypoallergenic and safe for sensitive skin and ears. We work with trusted vendors that source post consumer and new materials responsibly within transparent supply chains. For more specifics on each material see below.

All of our stones are responsibly and ethically sourced from trusted suppliers and miners.

All silver is SCS certified 100% recycled silver. SCS certification ensures that all materials are ethically sourced and have a minimal environmental impact.

Solid gold is a forever material. It will not oxidize or discolor with time, and is truly suited for everyday wear. 

All gold we use is 70% recycled gold and 30% Ethical new mined gold. 

Our recycled gold is made from post-consumer products, jewelry, scrap metal,etc. It’s refined in a SCS Certified Green Facility, and then cast into our pieces. 

Working with recycled gold minimizes our environmental impact and working with ethically mined new gold helps us to ensure that the gold mining of the future is both environmentally and ethically sound. 

Lots of people ask, why not just use recycled gold? The reason is to ensure the growth of traceable mine-to-market gold sources that are mindful of their workers and the environment. By choosing to work with new and recycled certified suppliers we are investing in a better future for miners and the environment.

We pride ourselves on working exclusively with ethically and sustainably sourced diamonds.  Faeber has built relationships with trusted vendors who share this responsibility and dedication to transparency.

Ethical Newly Mined

Newly mined diamonds have been produced within the last 20 years and have not been previously set. Sourcing an ethical newly mined diamond ensures that we’re supporting mines that comply with high environmental and ethical standards, helping to build a safe future in mining. All newly mined diamonds from Faeber, are conflict free and in compliance with United Nations Resolutions and the Kimberly Process. 

Post-Consumer

Post-consumer material refers to jewelry that has previously been owned and worn by the consuming public. By using post-consumer diamonds, we are tapping into an incredible existing resource of diamonds circulating in the secondary market. Sourcing post-consumer or antique diamonds is the most straightforward way to ensure the smallest carbon footprint, while upholding our standards for both ethics and sustainability.

 

Antique

An antique diamond is a diamond that was cut before 1930. Different tools were used to cut diamonds before 1930, and are not the same mechanisms used today. Due to this, antique diamonds have a more unique, romantic appearance. Cut with larger facets, they reflect light differently than modern-cut diamonds. We work with a few higihly trusted vendors to source antiques in a variety of shapes, sizes and colors. As previously noted, sourcing antique or post consumer diamonds is the most straightforward way to ensure the smallest carbon footprint, while upholding our standards for both ethics and sustainability.

Semi-precious and colored stones

We do our very best to work with colored gemstones that are traceable and work with a short supply chain. We’ve built relationships with trusted vendors who share the responsibility of sourcing traceable semi-precious stones.

Sapphires

Sapphires come in a broad range of color (teal, blue, green, lavender, yellow and pink) depending where in the Earth they’ve been mined. The majority that we use come from Montana and Australia, but we also source more traditionally colored sapphires from several countries across the Far East. While sapphires do not receive official certification in the same way that diamonds do, we can always guarantee ethical and sustainable sourcing from trusted vendors and miners.
