Ethical

All Q&C products are ethically sourced; our gemstones are carefully selected by our jewelry experts. We maintain a widely Canadian based production with partnerships from India and Canada which maintain ethical facilities where employees earn a fair living wage and are also employed under safe working conditions. Being conscious with our production, we only order and produce what is needed to fill demands. Our production facilities work only with requests and ensure we do not waste any overage in materials. We often recycle our own material in house, reuse metals and repurpose any product where ever possible.

Packaging

We use 100% recyclable paper; our shipping envelopes are 100% recyclable, and our shipping packaging also comes from responsibly managed sources and entirely biodegradable. Our Q&C jewelry and gemstone pouches are made from 100% cotton muslin which is biodegradable while maintaining a luxurious yet conscious experience for all! All of our luxuriously produced gold lined boxes and gift bags are entirely recyclable and nearly 100% biodegradable. Our commitment to reducing our footprint while offering an exceptional custom experience is our goal.
