Sustainability

At Armature we believe in authenticity and integrity over everything, which is why we are always as ethical and as kind to the environment as possible.

 


Our designs
All of our pieces are handmade, either in our Los Angeles studio or by our small group of artisans in Jaipur, India. We sometimes work with these experts when creating extremely intricate designs, as there are truly no better artists in the world for the job. Each maker is paid fairly for their time and works in clean and safe conditions. 

 


Our ethos
We believe in finding beauty in unexpected places. Which is why our signature style is the Bullet ring, made from reclaimed and spent bullet shell casings found in the abandoned fields of New Mexico and Northern California. By taking a man-made destructive device and transforming it into a beautiful form of art, we are celebrating circular fashion and recycling in its most real, raw and rare form.



Our packaging

Every Armature order is sent out into the world in eco-conscious packaging. Our tissue paper, stickers and tape are printed with plant-based ink and come from FSC-certified forests. Our mailing bags are made from corn starch and are completely biodegradable. This means after you’ve unwrapped your order, you can just put it in your home compost. We offset our emissions with carbon neutral shipping, and always try to reduce our waste as much as possible.
  


Our impact

We have a partnership with One Tree Planted, which means for every Armature design sold, a seed is sown. By enjoying the beauty of our jewelry, you can also help bring life back to areas that have been hit by wildfires and deforestation.

We’re also members of One Percent For The Planet and donate 1% of all our sales to nonprofits that help make the world a cleaner, better and safer place. Our creative director Sara chooses the charities we donate to based on where she feels the planet needs to be healed most at any given time.

For every piece sold from our Wave collection, we donate an additional 1% to Sea Shepherd. A non-profit that does an amazing job of protecting and conserving the world's oceans and marine wildlife.

 

Our experiments
There’s always room for growth, and as we continue to expand as a company we are looking into new and innovative ways to improve. This includes our current experimentation with mushroom packaging. It’s made from just two ingredients: hemp hurds and mycelium, and is grown in seven days. If everything goes to plan, we hope to use it in the near future so all of our packaging can be entirely biodegradable and leave behind no trace.
