Sustainability at Silver Works

For us, sustainability in our jewellery-making workshops is about making conscious choices at every step of the process to minimise environmental impact and best promote a more sustainable jewellery industry.

Sustainability

Silver

We’re proud to incorporate recycled metals and casting grains into our jewellery workshops. By using sustainable materials, we give new purpose to old resources, crafting pieces that honour both artistry and the environment, allowing creativity to thrive responsibly.

Gemstones

In our workshops, we prioritise ethically-sourced gemstones from mines dedicated to fair labor and responsible practices. By supporting such sources, we ensure each gem used aligns with our commitment to sustainability, respect for communities, and environmental stewardship.

Packaging

We are dedicated to sustainability in every aspect of our operations. By utilising eco-friendly packaging and compostable cups, we aim to minimise environmental impact. Each detail is carefully considered to support our commitment to a greener, more sustainable future.

Team

Our talented jewellery-making team is essential to upholding our sustainability standards. By consistently using recycled materials and implementing waste-reduction techniques, they ensure each piece reflects our commitment to eco-conscious craftsmanship and a more sustainable production process.

Student Community

Our curriculum embeds sustainability, teaching students about ethical sourcing, environmental impact, and responsible production practices. Through this knowledge, we inspire students to adopt these principles in their own designs, fostering a future of mindful, eco-conscious
jewellery-making.

Economy

We support the local economy by employing members of our community within a local team who in return can offer repair and refurbishment services to our past students, extending the lifespan of their beautiful handmade jewellery.

“Embracing sustainable jewellery designing and making with recycled metals and gems creates planet-friendly, wearable art that sparkles with imagination and conscience.” Madeleine Blaine, Silver Works Founder and Managing Director

The ring workshop is a fantastic activity – we attended for a hen party. The staff were so helpful, and really patient even though we were giddy and full of prosecco! Great fun, and the rings we made were gorgeous.

After making a Claddagh ring last fall and having a terrific experience I knew I wanted to take a group of friends to make ornaments. We had 3 instructors for 15 people, loads of laughs, and left with beautiful souvenirs of our time in Dublin. I highly recommend any of the SilverWorks experiences.

We had an amazing experience at Silverworks making the rings for our big day. Audrey was so helpful and kind. She explained every step clearly so that we were made feel comfortable and capable to make the rings. And we’re so thrilled with how they turned out, we didn’t want to take them off! Would highly recommend this course. 100%!

We made our wedding rings in the Wedding Ring workshop. It was such a lovely experience. Our rings feel so much more special now, and it actually worked out much better value than buying them from a jeweller. I can’t say enough good things about the team. Audrey and Clodagh were so nice and warm and helpful, and they really made sure we got what we wanted. We were delighted with the results. Highly recommend!

Myself and my partner took part in the Wedding Ring workshop recently and it was fantastic. Both Audrey and Clodagh were fantastic teachers and very fun to work with. We were amazed with the quality of rings we were able to make and can’t wait to use them for our wedding. 10/10 would recommend.
