Our commitment to sustainability

At Back In Time Jewels, we believe in the beauty of pre-loved jewellery and the power of slow fashion. We are proud to offer a wide selection of carefully curated pre-owned jewellery pieces that not only make a unique style statement but also contribute to a sustainable and ethical fashion industry.

By choosing pre loved jewellery, you become part of the sustainable fashion movement. Here's why Back In Time is a sustainable choice:

Reduces environmental impact
By giving pre-owned pieces a new life, we significantly reduce the need for new materials and energy-intensive production processes associated with traditional jewellery manufacturing. By wearing second-hand jewellery, you help decrease the demand for new mining and extraction practices, minimising the environmental footprint of the fashion industry.

Preserves precious resources
The production of new jewellery requires the extraction of precious metals, which can contribute to deforestation, water pollution, and habitat destruction. By purchasing pre-loved jewellery instead, you help conserve these valuable resources and protect our planet's natural beauty.

Reduces carbon emissions
The process of creating new jewellery from scratch consumes a significant amount of energy. By choosing pre-owned pieces, you are effectively reducing the carbon emissions associated with transportation, manufacturing, and processing, thus helping to mitigate climate change. Today many items of mass produced jewellery are manufactured over seas, and shipped to retailers in the UK. At Back in Time, our pieces are sourced only on the UK, and we ship only within the UK, in an attempt to reduce our shipping footprint. 

Promotes ethical practices
Our commitment to providing pre loved jewellery ensures that we do not support unethical mining practices and unfair labor conditions. We believe in the importance of transparency and ethical sourcing, empowering you to make a conscious choice without compromising your values. You'll notice on most pieces in the description, it states where the piece was sourced from.
