JEWELRY WITH PURPOSE
Since 2014, Tether has created jewelry with one guiding principle: responsibility is as important as design. We believe beauty should never come at the cost of the planet or the people who bring our vision to life.
Certified Materials, Ethical Origins
We hold ourselves accountable through global certifications and ethical sourcing practices:
- RJC-Certified Recycled Gold: Our solid 14K gold is nickel-free and certified by the Responsible Jewelry Council, guaranteeing both environmental and ethical responsibility.
- 316L Surgical-Grade Stainless Steel: Every clicker is crafted from medical-grade steel, designed for safety and long-term wear.
- Conflict-Free Diamonds: All of our diamonds are VS2-grade and sourced under the Kimberley Process.
- Ethically Sourced Gemstones: Our gemstones are carefully chosen from partners who prioritize responsible mining and cutting.
Beyond Materials: A Culture of Care
Sustainability is not just about the materials we use. It is about how we produce. Our small-batch manufacturing reduces waste, our packaging is designed with longevity in mind, and our designs are built to be part of your ritual for years—not disposable trends.
The Difference: Small Batch vs. Mass Production
Most jewelry on the market today is produced in large factories, often with little regard for material quality or environmental impact. Mass-produced pieces may use uncertified metals, alloys that irritate the body, and stones without traceable origins. These shortcuts can compromise both safety and longevity.
Tether takes the opposite path. We build in small batches, allowing us to refine every detail, minimize waste, and ensure that every design meets our exacting standards.
Jewelry That Lasts
We believe sustainability begins with durability. A piece that is well-crafted, safe, and timeless stays with you longer, replacing the cycle of fast fashion with one of care and ritual.
Tether is committed to reshaping what jewelry can mean: not just adornment, but a conscious choice to support craftsmanship, responsibility, and beauty that endures.
