Claire makes everything using a revolutionary eco-friendly product called Art Clay Silver, which is made using purely recycled silver.
Silver is recovered from the waste stream, utilising e-waste, photography liquids and many other unusual sources that could otherwise end up in landfill.
The silver is ground down and mixed with an organic binder to form a clay. Once fired, the binder burns away from the clay and leaves us with 999 silver. This is silver of the highest quality, in its purest form.
Working with this product is completely different to traditional silversmithing and lends itself towards a zero waste approach.
Our chains are currently still 925 sterling silver but we're hoping they'll be fully recycled soon too. Becoming a fully sustainable jewellery brand is something we're passionate about at Cloudy Lemonade
We ask all our customers to judge us on our jewellery, not our packaging.
Your jewellery will arrive in a Cloudy Lemonade gift box, made from 100% recycled materials including an anti tarnish eco-fibre insert.
It will look beautiful and it will feel beautiful, but it will come in a second hand envelope which is something we don't apologise for. This is not a cost cutting exercise, this is simply to reduce our impacts and reduce landfill.
When is comes to sustainability, re-use comes before recycling. So, even if your package does arrive in a plastic lined jiffy bag, please rest assured this is still better for the environment than us buying new.
As a sustainable jewellery brand we're doing everything we can to reduce our impacts.
We're not pretending to have every aspect of sustainability nailed right now, but we're working very hard on it.
Richard has over 17 years experience working in the environmental and sustainability sector, so we like to think we have a pretty good source of sustainable information right at our fingertips.
At Cloudy Lemonade we don't use recycled silver and used packaging for the hell of it. It's because we believe it's the right thing to do.
If you have any questions about the social or environmental impacts of your jewellery, please get in touch.

Its been a blast, but the time has come for it to end.
From June onwards I will only be working on commissions, and this website will cease to exist in its current form.
All stock is 25% off. And this is your last opportunity to purchase any made to order items.
Thanks for coming along for the ride.
