What the Project Is
This project is all about sustainable jewellery with integrity, where the style is celebrated without sacrificing ethics. Handmade entirely in Fairmined 14 karat yellow gold and natural recycled princess cut diamonds, the creations are inspired by nature, astronomy, and the materials themselves. Produced by a certified B Corp studio in Toronto, every piece is responsibly handcrafted using Fairmined metals and ethically traded gemstones. The jewelry is traceable, ensuring that every sourcing detail is known. This ethical jewellery studio, founded in 2017, uses fair and sustainable practices that emphasize artistic expression, custom design, and a commitment to uplift mining communities, employees, and everyone who wears the jewellery. Ever so intriguing… each creation embodies a blend of unique textures and unusual gemstones introduced in collections like the Kimberlite Collection, which features gemstones cast directly into metal.

The blending of ethical jewellery with sustainable jewellery is clearly about making sure there is a balance between environmental stewardship and sophisticated design.

The Malleable team, a cohesive group of Canadian artisans, pride themselves on creating innovative pieces through fair-minded and ethical methods. Their range includes signature products, custom diamond jewellery, and other unique designs that speak about natural beauty and creative vision. The artistry is evident in the unusual textures and distinctive gemstone placements, making every piece a true work of art. Each design not only reflects careful craftsmanship but also communicates a story – a blend of nature, astronomy, and the inherent beauty of responsibly traded materials.
