Sustainability

We bring a new perspective to the jewelry industry by focusing on sustainability, using recycled materials and ethical production methods to create timeless and durable products that you will enjoy for seasons to come.

We prioritise working with manufacturers that are certified by the Responsible Jewelry Council (RJC), which means that appropriate standards apply for human rights, labour standards, environmental impact, and business ethics in the jewelry industry.

Using a selection of quality materials in order to offer sustainable jewelry is at the heart of our concerns and a responsible choice for our planet.

MATERIALS

Recycled Stainless Steel

Our pieces are made from recycled Stainless Steel (up to 99.9%). 

Stainless Steel jewelry is an eco-friendly alternative to precious metal jewelry because Stainless Steel is infinitely recyclable.

Additionally, Stainless Steel is exceptionally durable and resistant to tarnishing, scratches, and dents, making it an excellent choice for creating long-lasting everyday pieces. 

Recycled Solid Gold

We use 10 & 14k Recycled Gold.

Buying 14k recycled gold jewelry is environmentally beneficial as it reduces the need for gold mining, conserves energy and water, and minimises chemical usage and waste. By choosing recycled gold, you contribute to the conservation of biodiversity and promote a circular economy. Supporting the market for recycled gold jewelry promotes sustainability and reduces the ecological footprint of the jewelry industry.

Lab Grown Diamonds

We use Lab grown diamonds only, which are conflict free!

Lab-grown diamonds are cultivated through an eco-friendly process called chemical vapor deposition (CVD), ensuring a sustainable supply that meets demand without compromising quality or resorting to detrimental practices or conflicts.  

PACKAGING

Each Twenty Compass order is shipped in a small reusable suede bag. This bag helps keep jewelry in its original condition and is very convenient for carrying your jewelry around with you :)

Our Compass Luxe orders are shipped in compostable mailers. These bags are necessary to protect the package in the delivery. This initiative helps reduce the use of plastic. Help us make a difference and don't forget to throw it in your compost bin ♡

Our Compass Luxe Jewelry Boxes are made of recycled materials and can be reused to store and protect your jewelry.

COMMUNITY

We encourage buying locally and #girlpower.

The vast majority of our necklaces and bracelets are handmade in Quebec, as are the creation and design of our collections. We pride ourselves on encouraging the local economy and providing a warm working environment as well as working conditions beyond standards.

We also take part in projects to support causes that are important to us, learn more about our project for Fondation Le Chaînon and Quebec Breast Cancer Foundation.

Together we do better!
