Ethics & Sustainability: Affordable, Eco-Friendly Jewellery from Birmingham

At Oh My Clumsy Heart, sustainability isn’t a buzzword—it’s a promise. We craft affordable, eco-friendly jewellery using recycled metals, ethically sourced gemstones, and plastic-free packaging.

Every step of our process prioritises honesty, fairness, and a genuine commitment to protecting the planet because great jewellery should feel good in every way.

We're commited to making jewellery that’s ethical, sustainable, and affordable.

That means using Fairtrade licensed recycled metals, responsibly sourced stones, and working only with independent UK suppliers who share our values.
We keep pricing fair, production transparent, and processes sustainable—because beautiful jewellery shouldn’t cost the Earth.

Woman-Owned & Independent

Founded by Sophie Davies in 2012, Oh My Clumsy Heart is proudly women-owned and independently run.

As a small, women-led brand, our story is one of independence, creativity, and conscious design.

It’s proof that ethical, sustainable jewellery doesn’t have to come from big corporations—it can come from small studios led by women who care deeply about what they create and how it’s made.

Responsibly-Sourced Metals

All our jewellery is made using recycled gold and sterling silver—durable, high-quality materials that are kinder to both people and planet.

We only partner with independent, Fairtrade licensed UK suppliers who share our commitment to ethics and environmental responsibility.

Our partners are accredited Living Wage employers and certified members of the Responsible Jewellery Council (RJC), ensuring high standards of fairness, transparency, and accountability.

All metal findings production complies with EU REACH regulations and is certified by the Assay Office through regular batch testing to guarantee safety and compliance.

Every supplier provides written assurances confirming that all gold is 100% recycled and conflict-free, while the vast majority of silver is recycled. When recycled silver isn’t available, only ethically sourced new metal is used.

Because where our materials come from—and who makes them—matters just as much as how they look.

Ethically Sourced Gemstones

We source our gemstones through trusted UK partners who work directly with small-scale cutters and mines.

Many of our stones are fully traceable from mine to market, while others come from long-standing ethical relationships built on trust and transparency.

We never buy from middlemen or unknown sources—ensuring every gemstone is responsibly mined, fairly traded, and chosen with care.

Handmade in Small Batches

All our jewellery is made in small batches in our Birmingham studio. Every piece is assembled and finished with care—never rushed, never mass-produced.

By keeping production small-scale, we minimise waste, avoid overproduction, and ensure every design is made with intention.

It’s a slower, more considered way of making jewellery—better for the planet, and better for the people who wear it.

Sustainable Studio Practices

From the recycled metals in our designs to the thrifted props and preloved tools in our studio, sustainability guides everything we do.

Our Birmingham workspace features second-hand benches, storage, and equipment—proof that quality craftsmanship doesn’t need to come at a cost to the planet.

We continuously review and improve our practices to lower our footprint, reduce waste, and make responsible choices at every stage.

Eco-Friendly Jewellery Packaging & Delivery

Our packaging is plastic-free, recyclable, and sourced from small UK businesses that share our values.

Every order is carefully wrapped in simple, eco-friendly materials so you can feel good about your jewellery—and the packaging it comes in.

We also ship every order carbon-neutral, offsetting delivery emissions to further reduce our environmental impact.

It’s not just what’s inside that counts. From the moment your parcel arrives, you’ll know: this is jewellery with a lighter footprint.

Fair & Transparent Pricing

We believe everyone should be able to afford well-made, eco-friendly jewellery—without compromising on ethics or style. 

That’s why we craft our pieces in small batches and sell directly from our studio.

By skipping middlemen, expensive retail markups, and unnecessary overheads, we keep prices fair, transparent, and honest.

No hidden costs. No inflated margins.

Just beautifully made jewellery—designed to last, made to wear, and priced with fairness in mind.
