Sustainability
The art of creating with awareness
Since time immemorial, jewelry has been an eternal language, a link between history, nature, and identity. At Alhaja, we draw inspiration from that legacy to bring to life pieces that transcend time, honoring the wisdom of those who preceded us and respecting the land that sustains us.
The commitment to the planet is an essential part of the Alhaja universe. We believe in timeless beauty, in craftsmanship as heritage, and in the responsibility to create with awareness. That is why we take care of every detail and choice, from the materials to the production processes, ensuring that our pieces are a tribute to tradition and a reflection of sustainability.
Responsible craftsmanship
Jewelry, in its purest form, is an art that requires patience, skill, and soul. At Alhaja, we collaborate with workshops and factories in Spain that preserve a know-how passed down through generations. There, expert hands shape each piece, perpetuating a craft that is cultural heritage.
Beyond aesthetics, our production model generates a positive impact on the community: we support local employment, keep the jewelry craftsmanship alive, and reduce our carbon footprint. Additionally, we ensure fair working conditions and promote a more ethical and sustainable industry, aligned with our values of respect and responsibility.
Timeless creation and conscious consumption
Timelessness is a principle that guides every decision at Alhaja because we believe that designing pieces that endure is an act of sustainability. In the face of accelerated consumption, we advocate for thoughtful creation and conscious consumption, producing only what is necessary and avoiding unnecessary waste of resources.
Furthermore, we are in constant evolution, researching new ways to reduce our impact. We are committed to enhancing recycling in our manufacturing processes and continuing to explore techniques that minimize our environmental footprint, ensuring that our way of creating is as conscious as the story we want to tell with each piece of jewelry."
Raw material with memory
Every metal, stone, and pearl in our jewelry is a witness to a commitment: to honor the past without compromising the future. More than 90% of our collection is made with recycled metals, from 925 silver to 18-carat gold, ensuring a responsible source and balance with nature.
To achieve this, we work with suppliers certified by the Responsible Jewelry Council (RJC), ensuring that extraction and recycling processes meet the highest standards of sustainability and ethics. Currently, we are moving towards total traceability of our materials, consolidating a transparent and low environmental impact supply chain.
Semi-precious stones and pearls
Since ancient times, gemstones have been considered guardians of energy and symbols of protection. At Alhaja, we select each crystal and semi-precious stone with the same respect that our ancestors had, ensuring their ethical sourcing and positive impact on the communities that work with them.
Our cultured pearls represent a link between the classic and the contemporary, a fusion of nature and craftsmanship. We prioritize working with responsible suppliers who practice eco-friendly harvesting.
Responsible Packaging
The attention to detail extends to the moment our jewelry arrives at its destination. We use packaging designed to last, made from recycled and reusable materials, intended to protect each piece and minimize waste.
In addition, our packaging is made in a Special Employment Center with a team of people with disabilities, promoting their labor inclusion and reaffirming our commitment to a more humane and conscious production.
At Alhaja, each jewel tells a story of tradition, commitment, and respect for nature. We believe in craftsmanship as a legacy and in sustainability as a responsibility. Each piece is a testament to this commitment, a promise to continue exploring, learning, and improving.
