Brand Rating & Evaluation
Overall Rating:
Conscious
Our ratings are based on a scale from 1 (Avoid) to 5 (Top Choice). See How We Rate
The Shifting Gaia rating evaluates brands based on sustainable practices, ingredients and materials, and social responsibility, among others. These are a few factors influencing this brand's score:
sustainability practices
Nyrelle utilizes 100% recycled gold in the majority of its jewelry, which reduces the demand for newly mined metals and minimizing environmental degradation. Additionally, Nyrelle is a registered Fairtrade Goldsmith, sourcing Fairtrade-certified gold directly from artisanal mining communities. This practice ensures that miners receive fair wages and work under safe conditions, while also promoting responsible environmental practices.
Nyrelle also emphasizes the traceability of its gemstones. Through partnerships with initiatives like Moyo Gems, the company sources stones such as rhodolites, spessartines, and emeralds from female artisanal miners in Tanzania and Kenya. This collaboration ensures that gemstones are ethically mined and fully traceable, empowering miners with fair compensation and access to vocational training.
However, Nyrelle provides limited publicly available information regarding its carbon footprint, energy consumption, or broader environmental impact metrics. While their use of recycled metals and ethical sourcing is commendable, more measurable data on carbon neutrality efforts or renewable energy integration would enhance transparency and credibility.
ingredients & materials
Ingredients & materials as they pertain to consumer health are not evaluated in brands that produce only jewelry. Learn more about how we rate.
social responsibility
Nyrelle sources diamonds that are certified conflict-free by the Kimberley Process, ensuring they are not associated with armed conflict. At the same time it must be noted that the Kimberley Process has faced criticism for its limitations in addressing broader human rights issues, and this certification omits critical issues including fair wages and working conditions.
Nyrelle's partnership with Moyo Gems supports female artisanal miners by providing fair wages, safe working conditions, and access to training, empowering these communities economically and socially.
Despite these efforts, Nyrelle provides limited information regarding labor practices within its own manufacturing facilities or those of its suppliers. Greater transparency around supply chain audits, third-party verifications, and specific labor conditions would strengthen their claims of ethical production.
