AR.M’s jewellery is almost all produced in-house in the atelier in Athens, it is all conducted without the involvement of major external parties. The jewellery is handmade by goldsmiths employed directly under the brand in order to make the production as transparent and ethical as possible through the entire supply chain. In Belgium, AR.M has it’s storefront. Anna Rosa works with only small suppliers, or directly with manufacturers themselves.
Anna Rosa mainly works with recycled sterling silver and recycled gold. These mostly come from her clients’ old jewellery, or from surpluses from larger companies. The diamonds used are lab-grown, pearls collected ethically, and the errant gem you find probably comes from Anna Rosa’s own jewellery or her flea market finds, or from her clients’ family jewels.
The packaging is made of 100% undyed FSC certified and recycled paper, and organic cotton fabrics and pouches.
In short, Anna Rosa only works with responsibly sourced materials in the brand overall.
Jewellery in itself is very circular, considering the nature of the materials. They can be melted and reformed into different items, making them easily recyclable and highly circular. Additional to this, Anna Rosa uses recycled metals to make her jewellery in the first place.
Majority of materials for this brand are sourced from within Europe, except for the freshwater, cultured pearls sourced from a Greek supplier with a knack for finding ethically sourced pearls across the world. The lab-grown diamonds are sourced from Antwerp, whose supply chain is traced back to India for the manufacturing. The organic cotton for the packaging are sourced from Denmark. The added length of the chain is a necessary compromise in order to source ethical and long-lasting materials.
AR.M uses freshwater pearls within the jewellery, sourced from ethical farms where the mollusc is not killed after the pearl is removed.
Modern design on your ears, around your neck or on your wrist, that’s Anna Rosa Moschouti. Jewelry made from recycled and ethical materials, ideal for the modern woman.
Anna Rosa tries to find the perfect balance between sustainability and longevity. While a synthetic replacement for pearls has not quite been perfected yet, she without fail only goes for lab-grown diamonds considering their ethical sourcing, high quality and longevity.
AR.M’s goal is to minimize how many hands things go through until they end up with the consumer. They are very transparent about all their production and sourcing. They are also very transparent about the efforts they are making on improving themselves constantly.
Conclusion
With Anna Rosa Moschouti’s durable jewellery you will definitely impress your date!
