We know everyone is crushing on gold these days, but silver is also timeless — and so is layering the two together.
We’re here for the joy (and jewelry) stacking; It’s taurus season after all, and maximalist vibes are in.
But just ‘cause you want to adorn your bod doesn’t mean you need to hurt the planet in the meantime. We use high-grade, recycled 925 silver to make our silver jewelry. Like you, we care about mama earth and want to contribute to a sustainable, ethical jewelry industry.
We’re a carbon neutral company, and we take that v seriously. That’s why we reclaim, refine, and reuse silver instead of mining our own.
Plus, we care about quality; your timeless jewelry should actually last — full stop. Just like your gold vermeil rings, necklaces, earrings, and bracelets are investments, so are your recycled 925 silver pieces. By purchasing recycled silver products, you’re helping to cut down on waste, conserve energy, and contribute to a circular economy. Also, you’re buying high-grade pieces that stand the test of time, aka wins all around.
But first, WTF is recycled 925 silver?
Great q. Like the name suggests, recycled 925 silver is silver that’s been extracted from used metal products. This means it’s a more environmentally responsible and ethical way to produce — and purchase — jewelry, since the process of recycling silver is much easier on the earth than mining it.
As for the 925, it refers to the purity of the silver. Our pieces are composed of 92.5% silver and, since we use high-grade recycled material, we remove impurities to ensure high silver content.
The result: skin-friendly silver that’s with you for all the joys in life. Yes please.
Why is recycled silver better for the planet?
If you’re still not convinced on recycled silver, here are a few ways that make it better than regular silver:
It conserves resources:
Using recycled silver means we don’t have to extract new silver — a mining process that can often involve significant environmental impact like deforestation, soil erosion, habitat destruction, and water pollution. Not only do you get to feel très sexy in our silver pieces, you get to be an environmentally-conscious babe (even hotter).
It saves energy:
Recycling silver lets us save mama earth’s precious energy, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and create a smaller environmental footprint.
It reduces waste:
Fast fashion gets old reeeaal quick. Recycled silver lets us collect, melt down, and transform silver into your timeless pieces that are made to last. This also helps to minimize silver waste in landfills, cause we definitely don’t have time for that.
It cuts down on pollution:
Recycled silver production is a much cleaner, safer alternative to traditional silver production, which normally involves the use of toxic chemicals that can hurt your skin and the earth.
It contributes to a circular economy:
Reuse, reduce, and recycle, baby. By purchasing recycled silver products, you’re helping to contribute to a more sustainable jewelry industry. We’re pretty sure that’s something everyone can get behind.
What makes OJOIE recycled silver unique?
Not only do we use high-grade, recycled 925 silver to minimize our impact on the earth, we also ensure that the way our jewelry is made is ethical.
We work with manufacturers in Bali, Indonesia —the place where the OJOIE dream all began. There, those making our timeless jewelry are compensated fairly, have safe and healthy working conditions, and infuse Bali’s magic into each and every piece.
Whether you’re looking for a silver jewelry set or want to mix and match with our high-quality gold vermeil pieces, sustainability looks good on you. Go ahead – treat yourself to some ethical, recycled silver jewelry.
