Sustainability
What makes Maya Magal sustainable?
Maya Magal is a London-based sustainable jewellery brand crafting every piece by hand using 100% recycled gold and recycled sterling silver. Our collections are made in zero-waste workshops, powered by ethical production and responsible sourcing. We design timeless, slow-made jewellery that’s built to last - offering lifetime care, conflict-free gemstones, and fully recyclable packaging. By keeping our production in-house and local, we reduce our carbon footprint, ensure fair wages for our jewellers, and create pieces that honour both people and planet.
Sustainability
Crafted with care. Designed to last.
At Maya Magal, sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. We celebrate craftsmanship and champion the process of making - creating handmade jewellery that’s designed to endure.
Our focus is on creating better, not more: small-batch production, recycled metals, and in-house manufacturing all form part of our commitment to a more sustainable and responsible future for jewellery.
We continuously look for new ways to improve - reducing waste, working with ethical suppliers, and supporting local artisans in our London workshops.
Circular thinking
Slow made, timeless jewellery, with a lifetime guarantee.
Each Maya Magal piece is handcrafted in London using traditional techniques that honour the art of jewellery making. By training and nurturing the next generation of British jewellers, we preserve these skills while keeping production local and low-impact.
To encourage circular ownership, we offer a two-year warranty and lifetime cleaning and care guarantee, helping you keep your jewellery in perfect condition for years to come.
Our workshops
Zero-waste craftsmanship. Made in-house.
Every Maya Magal design is brought to life in our zero-waste London workshops.
Our vertically integrated production model gives us full control over every step of the process - from design to finishing - ensuring transparency, fair pay, and minimal waste.
We craft in limited, accurate quantities, avoiding over-production and unnecessary stock. All precious metal off-cuts are melted down and reused, creating a truly circular system where no material is lost.
Made in London
Locally produced, low carbon.
By keeping production close to home, we dramatically reduce our carbon footprint. Our jewellery moves only between our London workshops and stores, often by foot, minimising transport emissions and eliminating unnecessary air miles. Being made in London also allows us to maintain the highest standards of quality and ethics, from concept to final polish.
Responsible materials
100% recycled gold and recycled sterling silver.
Sustainability starts with materials. Every new Maya Magal piece is made using 100% recycled metals, refined and crafted by hand in our London studio.
We recycle all metal scraps and off-cuts to ensure no jewellery ever goes to waste.
By managing our entire production process in-house, we can guarantee traceable, zero-waste collections from start to finish.
Ethical Gemstones
Conflict-free and responsibly sourced.
Our gemstones are hand-selected by our founder, Maya, from trusted family-run suppliers and local craftspeople.
Each stone is conflict-free and sourced in line with global regulations such as the Kimberley Process, ensuring respect for both people and planet.
Eco-Friendly Packaging
Recyclable, reusable, responsible.
Every detail counts - even the packaging. Our boxes and pouches are 100% recyclable and reusable, designed to protect your jewellery and the environment. We encourage you to reuse your jewellery box to store your pieces safely, and you can recycle our packaging with confidence once it reaches the end of its life.
Our Stores
Powered by renewable energy.
Our Coal Drops Yard flagship forms part of one of the UK’s most sustainable developments, powered entirely by renewable energy.
At our Islington store, we work with First Mile for responsible waste collection and in 2023 achieved Zero to Landfill certification.
We’re continuously expanding these efforts across our stores and studio, looking for new ways to reduce our impact while maintaining the craft and care that define us.
Our Partnerships
Collaborating for a sustainable future.
We believe sustainability is a collective effort. That’s why we’re building partnerships with carefully selected organisations that share our values - from circular-design initiatives to ethical-sourcing alliances.
This page will be updated as our partnerships evolve, reflecting our ongoing journey toward a more responsible, transparent jewellery industry.
