Production locations
Working Conditions & Living Wages
Huis Pauwel Spaenjers proudly operates from its own workshop in Hasselt, Belgium. The brand values craftsmanship and transparency, ensuring that every jewellery piece is meticulously handcrafted by its small, dedicated team. Clients are invited to visit the workshop and witness the process firsthand — keeping traditional goldsmithing techniques alive.
Materials
Huis Pauwel Spaenjers commits to using only recycled gold and platinum, ensuring that no newly mined gold is used in their jewellery. The brand also avoids conventional diamonds, instead offering lab-grown or pre-loved diamonds, reducing environmental and ethical concerns related to diamond mining.
Packaging
The brand opts for minimal, recyclable packaging. Jewellery is delivered in cardboard boxes, some of which clients reuse as personal jewellery cases — giving packaging an extended lifespan.
Water usage & chemicals
By using recycled precious metals, Huis Pauwel Spaenjers significantly reduces the need for mining, which is known for its high water consumption and chemical use. Their in-house production further limits unnecessary resource waste.
Circular product design
The brand operates a closed-loop system, where clients can bring in old jewellery to be reworked into new, bespoke pieces. Even though they do not work with silver, they collect and recycle it, ensuring that no precious metal goes to waste.
NOTE: Jewellery is generally easy to recycle and lasts a long time.
Circular business models
Huis Pauwel Spaenjers encourages longevity by providing repair and maintenance services, allowing customers to cherish their jewellery for generations.
Distance & complexity of the supply chain
With all materials sourced within Europe and manufacturing done in-house, the brand ensures a short and transparent supply chain. Most sales happen in person, reducing emissions from shipping.
Transportation
Huis Pauwel Spaenjers does not use animal-derived materials, apart from repurposed pearls from clients’ old jewellery—ensuring no new impact on marine life.
Product design
Each piece is made to last, designed with both heritage and innovation in mind. By focusing on bespoke designs, the brand ensures that every creation holds emotional significance for its owner.
Slow fashion processes
Huis Pauwel Spaenjers actively reduces waste by working on a made-to-order basis and allowing customers to trade in old gold to create new pieces. Their dedication to quality craftsmanship makes each piece an investment.
Transparency on product
Customers are encouraged to visit the workshop to see exactly how their jewellery is made. The brand is upfront about its use of 100% recycled gold and Belgian-German sourced materials.

Huis Pauwel Spaenjers engages with COSH! to provide detailed insights into their production, sourcing, and sustainability efforts. Their commitment to transparency builds trust and strengthens the connection between makers and wearers.
