Uses ethically sourced gemstones

WILLIAM ÉDOUARD says it uses ethically sourced gemstones in its jewellery. The brand also says each piece is designed and handcrafted in its Melbourne studio. This suggests a focus on small-scale production and material choice, but the available information does not explain how the gemstones are traced or what standards are used to judge them as ethical.

Handmade production in Melbourne

The brand says its jewellery is designed and handcrafted in Melbourne. Making products locally can sometimes help a business keep closer control over quality and reduce some transport needs, but the material does not give enough detail to confirm any specific environmental benefit. The main confirmed point is that the brand uses a handmade production model rather than mass manufacturing.

Published sustainability blog posts

WILLIAM ÉDOUARD has published blog posts about Earth Day and sustainability. In one post, it describes itself as a sustainable business and says it wants to minimise impact and reduce its footprint through conscious consumption. The post shows that the brand is talking about sustainability, but it does not provide hard data, targets, or a detailed plan.

Donated proceeds to charity

In 2022, WILLIAM ÉDOUARD said it donated 30% of proceeds from Smiley Ring orders during a set period to The Butterfly Foundation. The campaign was linked to R U OK? Day and mental health awareness. This is a social impact action rather than an environmental one, but it is still part of the brand’s wider ESG activity.
