Approach to Ethical Sourcing

ETHICALLY SOURCED, LOCALLY MADE

We value manufacturing our pieces locally at our head office, in Montreal, QC, Canada. 

Our designers work closely with our jewelers to create the collection.  For over two decades we've worked hand in hand with our professional team, focusing on creating pieces that are beautiful, comfortable and inspired by nature.  Working with our team in Montreal ensures that our manufacturing process is sustainable, high quality, and we reduce our environmental impact. 

While the Kimberley Process can be successful at ending the spread of conflict diamonds, it does not have specifications when it comes to labor, human, and environmental rights. While we try our best to ensure our gemstones are ethically sourced with these rights in mind, our practices are not perfect. We aim to provide certifications that exemplify how our metal and stone suppliers engage in responsible mining practices and adhere to standards for human rights and environmental protection. 

We exclusively source Royal Canadian Mint Grain Gold, ensuring that Anzie jewelry is made of environmentally sustainable, socially responsible and conflict-free gold. Royal Canadian Mint Grain Gold is certified under the LMBA’s Responsible Gold and Silver Guidance, as well as certified by the Mining Association of Canada.

Our yellow gold pieces are made with 14k gold, and any piece may be specially ordered in 18k gold. Gold, long considered to be one of earth’s most precious resources and is highly resilient. Though an enduring metal, gold is susceptible to discoloration and even disintegration when exposed to rough surfaces and harsh chemicals, especially bleach.

Our rose gold is produced by alloying 14k Gold with Copper to yield a beautiful rose hue. Like yellow gold, despite its resilience rose gold must be properly cared for and should not be put in contact with rough surfaces and harsh chemicals Like bleach.

Our White Gold is produced by alloying 14k Gold with nickel and zinc to create a bright white metal. It has a rhodium plating to maintain its bright white tone, and needs to be replated over time to avoid yellowing. Like yellow gold, white gold must be properly cared for and should not be put in contact with rough surfaces and harsh chemicals like bleach.
