Handmade by April March
The brand
April March was founded in 2016 by Sarah Brannagan, a fine jeweller who launched her first collection with a mission to create made-to-order and handmade pieces using responsibly-sourced materials and gemstones. Each April March jewellery design is consciously handcrafted from the brand's workshop by Sarah herself, who is always guided by sustainable practices and transparency.
The jeweller
Sarah Brannagan, founder of April March, begun her career in the jewellery industry designing for high street brands. She decided to embark on her own journey when she became alarmed by the questionable ethics and lack of accountability surrounding the fast fashion industry. Sarah begun April March with the aim to be part of the change rather than the problem.
Sustainability
Sustainability is at the core of April March. The brand creates season-less treasures that are made with love and intended to last. Sarah promises to be environmentally conscious and honest in her approach, pledging only to work with suppliers who offer transparency within their supply chain so that you can trace the materials back to their roots.
From their choice of materials to their planet-friendly packaging, April March strives to ensure a slow and mindful process throughout each area of production. They use recycled silver and gold and for our gold plated options, they use fair mined gold vermeil and are a fair mined licensed brand.
April March's gemstones and diamonds are sourced from conflict-free suppliers. They believe in a transparent supply chain that supports the transformation of the livelihoods of artisan small scale miners and their communities.
