Judith Benita

This brand has a wor­k­shop loca­ted in Paris, whe­re all the col­lec­ti­ons are bro­ug­ht to life by Judith and her team. This ensu­res ethi­cal pro­duc­ti­on of the jewel­lery. We, howe­ver, are unawa­re of the mate­ri­al sour­cing faci­li­ti­es and the­ir ethi­cal nature. 

The brand uses gold-pla­ted brass, which is recy­cla­ble, howe­ver the pro­cess of extrac­ting the­se pro­duc­ts could be har­m­ful to the envi­ron­ment. The pro­duc­ts are then given some colo­ur using an epoxy, which has the poten­ti­al to be eco-fri­end­ly, but this infor­ma­ti­on is not pro­vi­ded. The pac­ka­ging is also sus­ta­ina­ble, using recy­cled car­d­bo­ard boxes, but they do not give us infor­ma­ti­on regar­ding the che­mi­cals used in the making of the jewellery.

Jewel­lery is inhe­ren­tly very cir­cu­lar, as most of it is made of easily recy­cla­ble mate­ri­als. Judith also uses many scraps, upcy­cled and recy­cled mate­ri­als in her pieces, con­tri­bu­ting to the­ir cir­cu­la­rity. The brand’s repa­ir ser­vi­ces also reflect the­ir efforts to be cir­cu­lar and keep the pro­duc­ts in use for a long time.

The brand is loca­ted in Paris, and manu­fac­tu­ring is also con­duc­ted in the same loca­ti­on, redu­cing the len­g­th of the cha­in. Asi­de from this, we do not have any infor­ma­ti­on regar­ding the sour­cing of the mate­ri­als, making the true len­g­th of the sup­ply cha­in unk­nown. We are also unawa­re of the tran­s­por­ta­ti­on met­hods used in the sup­ply chain. 

The brand uses fre­shwa­ter pearl and mot­her-of-pearl, the sour­ce of which isn’t specified.

Judith Beni­ta cre­ates beauti­ful han­d­ma­de jewel­lery, unique to each wearer. They deli­be­ra­tely work with a redu­ced stock to avo­id over­pro­duc­ti­on, and they pro­vi­de care tips and re-gil­ding and repa­ir ser­vi­ces to keep the jewel­lery in use for as long as possi­ble. The desig­ns are time­less and high quality, and they come with a 1‑year guaran­tee as well.

Judith Beni­ta, being a small brand, pro­vi­des a lot of tran­s­pa­ren­cy regar­ding the­ir mate­ri­als and efforts at sus­ta­ina­bi­lity. We would love to see them go a few steps fur­t­her and pro­vi­de deta­ils regar­ding the­ir mate­ri­al sour­cing, tran­s­por­ta­ti­on, and che­mi­cals.
