The use of high-quality, carefully selected materials is a key characteristic of what is known as slow jewellery. Within this philosophy, it is essential to choose materials with the lowest possible environmental impact — such as recycled metals.
Another vital element is the design itself. A piece of jewellery should be timeless in style. These pieces are intended to be worn and cherished for many years, remaining elegant even amidst the fast-changing whirlwind of modern trends.
There are many other important aspects of the slow jewellery movement worth highlighting. These include; avoiding mass production, maintaining an ethical and respectful working environment, and ensuring fair and transparent pricing. These values are at the heart of Guldviva — our mission is to create jewellery that you can wear, love, and hold dear for a very long time.
