At Crafted by Citrus, we care about creating jewelry that not only tells your story but also takes care of the planet. Sustainability is super important to us, and we’re always looking for ways to make a positive impact. Here’s how we’re doing our part:
Recycled Materials
-
Sterling Silver: We give unused and mis-stamped sterling silver a second chance by recycling it into new designs. It’s our way of cutting down on waste and making sure nothing goes to waste.
-
Smart Practices: Repurposing materials helps us lower our environmental footprint and keeps sustainability at the heart of what we do.
Ethical Sourcing
-
Gemstones: Every gemstone we use is ethically sourced from trusted local suppliers. They’re responsibly mined, so you can feel good about where they come from.
-
Leather & Metals: Our leather comes from a talented Toronto-based leathersmith, and all our metals are sourced from Canadian suppliers who share our values.
Locally Made
Every piece of jewelry is crafted right here in Toronto, supporting local artisans and cutting down on transportation emissions. We’re proudly Canadian-made, and wherever possible, we select our raw materials from local suppliers to ensure quality, sustainability, and a commitment to our community. We’ve also brought on local students from nearby colleges and universities to help with staffing in our studio, supporting the cyclical economy here in Canada. Our Etobicoke workshop is where the magic happens—thoughtful, handmade creations with a local touch.
Timeless Design
We believe in making jewelry that lasts forever. Our designs are timeless, so you can treasure them for years instead of chasing fleeting trends. It’s a small way we can help reduce waste while giving you something truly special.
Eco-Friendly Options
-
Packaging: We keep it simple with minimal, recyclable packaging that protects your jewelry without harming the environment. Our boxed packaging is fully recyclable, making it easy for you to help reduce waste.
-
Delivery: Toronto customers can enjoy Good Foot Delivery, a green delivery option that’s easy on the planet and supports local businesses.
Charitable Giving
We believe in giving back to the community. Crafted by Citrus proudly supports local charities and organizations that align with our values. Last year, we donated $1,200 to CANFUND #150Women to help young athletes compete on the world stage. From donating proceeds of special collections to collaborating on community-driven initiatives, we’re committed to making a positive impact beyond jewelry.
Why It Matters
Every choice we make, big or small, has an impact. By focusing on sustainability, we hope to create jewelry that not only connects you to your memories but also shows love to the Earth. When you choose Crafted by Citrus, you’re supporting people, the planet, and a purpose we can all feel good about.
