Why Steel and Silver?
It is crucial for Nacrissa that individuals comprehend the existence of extraction, production, and distribution processes in jewelry-making that uphold ethical and environmental standards.
Why Sterling Silver?
In Nacrissa part of our manufacturers use a portion of recycled silver; an eco-friendly choice that can help reduce the environmental impact of silver production:
- Reduces demand: Recycling silver jewelry can help reduce the demand for new silver, which preserves natural resources.
- Reduces energy use: Recycling silver minimizes the amount of energy used in smelting, which can help reduce the amount of toxins released into the environment.
Part of the silver used in Nacrissa is often found and gathered when mining for copper, gold, and zinc – which lowers its environmental impact as it’s not being mined separately.,because it is not mined
Why Stainless Steel?
Stainless steel in Nacrissa's jewelry is a durable, affordable choice that resists tarnish, rust, and corrosion. It's perfect for daily wear and sensitive skin. Stainless steel is also eco-friendly and made with recycled materials.
- Stainless steel with a tensile strength of 505 MPa is 4x stronger than silver, resistant to scratches, dents, and daily wear, lasting 20–30 years without losing its shine.
- Stainless steel is eco-friendly with 60% recycled materials, minimizing environmental impact compared to precious metals.
Consumer choices can also affect the environmental impact of jewelry. The demand for inexpensive, fast-fashion jewelry can lead to mass production and the quick disposal of low-quality items.
