This year I feel has seen a change in how we view the environment and our surroundings. Many companies are really thinking about how they can make their products eco-friendly and some start with a strong environmental ethos. One such company is Jacqueline and Edward Jewellers. This is an advertorial.
Jacqueline and Edward Jewellers are a small Yorkshire based jewellery company that turn UK gold into artisan handmade jewellery including wedding rings and pendants.
Their unique selling point is that they go back to traditional ways of finding gold by panning for gold in the wilds of the UK countryside. How different and unique is that? The company was set up over 30 years ago when co-founder Mark ventured into the world of gold panning with his late father Edward. Mark then set up the company named after Edward with his wife Jacqueline and so the company Jacqueline and Edward was born.
Panning for gold is a century-old activity that is non-evasive and does not harm the environment as traditional mining for gold can. You can even go on a gold panning experience with Jacqueline and Edward Jewellers and use some of the gold to make your own wedding ring in combination with ethically sourced recycled gold. A very memorable way of sourcing your wedding rings, one you will remember forever.
Jacqueline and Edward Jewellers will then make your own bespoke wedding rings by hand in their workshop to the highest quality.
The Tree Of Life initiative has now expanded and when purchasing a Christmas tree pendant, Jacqueline and Edward Jewellers will plant a tree for you too - a tree for a tree. So you can give two gifts in one!
Jacqueline and Edward kindly sent me one of their Christmas tree pendants in exchange for this review.
The Christmas tree pendant arrived beautifully presented in recyclable packaging and topped with a gold fabric ribbon. The gold detailing on the box really stood out, making it look very classy.
The gorgeous necklace inside, made of 18 ct rose gold is really beautiful. The warm rich colour of the rose gold really makes the necklace stand out. On an 18-inch fine curb chain, a dainty tree pendant dangles from a bale and shines in the light. One side of the necklace is polished whilst the other side is matt, so you can wear it both ways.
The Christmas tree pendant comes with a card explaining that by purchasing a pendant with Jacqueline and Edward Jewellers, they have planted a native tree in the Caledonian Forest on your behalf. Giving back to the forest and the environment. This is a super initiative as trees contribute to their environment by providing oxygen, improving air quality, conserving water, preserving soil, and supporting wildlife.
The pretty Christmas tree pendant is available in either white, rose or yellow gold and also in silver. The silver necklace is priced from £75, the 9ct necklaces from £125 and the 18ct necklaces from £210. For the quality of the jewellery, the fact that they plant a tree for you too and the message behind the necklaces, I think these will make a precious gift at Christmas time or any other time of year.
I really love my rose gold necklace, and to know that the gold is ethically sourced is the icing on the cake. Mining for precious metals can be damaging to the environment with the chemicals used and the mining process. Using gold that has been found by panning in the wilds of the British countryside is an eco-friendly way to make jewellery that can be treasured forever.
Let me know what you think of the Christmas tree pendant from Jacqueline and Edward Jewellers. What do you think of their ethos? Would you like to try panning for gold to make your wedding rings? Let me know.

The pieces they are creating are stunning!!!! I think it's such a lovely idea that they will be planting trees for each ring that is purchased.
ReplyDeleteI think it's a great idea too!
DeleteWhat a brilliant idea! I think that the tree looks super pretty, and the fact that they have also planted a tree is extra bonus!
ReplyDeleteThis is incredible! I love how you can pan for your own gold and they will make it into a ring..now I'm wondering if that's offered where I live since gold panning is still prevalent here. Question, do they ship to the US? I would love one of these necklaces!
ReplyDeleteI am sure they would. Pop them an email.
DeleteThis is such a lovely idea, I love how they plant a tree with the necklace. It would make a beautiful present as well I would be thrilled to get one.
ReplyDeleteI love the idea that they pan for their own gold, such a nice ethical way of doing it. And that Christmas tree pendant is really nice x
ReplyDeleteYep and you can join in with them too and pan for your own wedding ring!
DeleteThis is so cute! And I love this kind of architectural jewellery - also so seasonal!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful necklace, I love the rose gold. It's brilliant that they're ethically sourced too.
ReplyDeleteThe rose gold is such a lovely colour. I am so glad I came across this company, using recycled gold and panning for gold is a great ethical way of making jewellery.
