Working towards a circular economy: Emma Aitchison and Josie Mitchell jewellery strive for a more ethical jewellery industry. Utilising recycled metals, recyclable and biodegradable packaging and ethical studio practices. Sustainability is at the forefront of their brands.

Emma & Josie will be collaborating to present ‘Whose Hands’, an exhibition on the journey of your jewellery inviting you to discover the process involved in making jewellery from source to shop.

Exploring how a raw alloy transforms into a piece of jewellery, whose hands does it pass, what chemicals are used and what energy is consumed.

We hope it encourages people to think twice about what you buy and learn how we can create change for a better industry.

Come down and explore the issues and effects of the jewellery trade on planet and people, learn what positive steps are being taken in the industry and what you can do to help create change.

Alongside the exhibition, to encourage upcycling, Emma and Josie will be offering 10% discount for all custom projects which include the upcycling of the customer’s metal.

Please pop into the studio shop at Iron Gates to discuss your project!

Open: Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday 10am-4pm
