We are committed to conscious consumption and new consumption patterns with sustainable aspects. We support fair market and social structures that bring about sustainable development. We support small-scale miners and their families. We live sustainability holistically, i.e. we not only use ecologically produced precious metals and – where possible – gemstones from sustainable and fair production, but also check all processes in our studio for sustainability (energy balance, transport routes, use of chemicals, packaging material, advertising material, etc.). We are equally careful with the resources of each individual employee.

We work transparently and let the customer know what is behind their piece of jewelry. He or she can view the traceability of his or her personal jewelry at any time and receives a certificate of proof.

We support small structures in the Swiss market and companies from our immediate environment.

SIGNUM follows neither trend nor tradition, we follow our own values in the design, development and manufacture of our jewelry. In the spirit of sustainability, our aim is to produce pieces of long-lasting quality with a focus on the essentials. The design of each individual piece of jewelry is about balancing and finding its natural equilibrium, resulting in a harmonious interplay between materiality, form and color. Every SIGNUM piece of jewelry stands for individuality.

Jewelry is always associated with the emotions of the individual. We listen to our customers and treat their emotions and wishes with respect. With the knowledge that our jewelry is produced cleanly and honestly, we strive for trust, customer satisfaction, optimism, vitality and motivation.

In general, we cultivate a corporate culture of respectful, communicative and supportive interaction – both with each other and with our partners and customers.

An elementary part of this philosophy is a regular review of our processes, looking for new, clean raw materials, checking business partners to ensure continuous improvement of environmental and social aspects – our small contribution to a better world.

In addition to the aspects of sustainability and fairness, transparency and disclosure of the entire value chain (supply chain) are also part of our concept. Read more about the traceability of the raw materials and work steps that lead to the finished SIGNUM piece of jewelry in the following sections.

The customer receives a reliable verification document in which every relevant work step and every raw material used is documented.

Each piece of jewelry is provided with an individual serial number, which can be used, for example, to trace the gold batch used with the time and place of gold extraction.

SIGNUM constantly designs and develops jewelry ideas, implements them by hand and advises you professionally with almost 30 years of experience!

Every detail in the production process is important – immerse yourself in it with us:

the history of the origin of your gold / the process of melting and casting / the implementation of the jewelry design at the workbench in the classic goldsmith’s craft with modern production techniques such as prototyping for series production / the place of origin of your gemstone / the setting of the piece of jewelry and much more.

Signum Fair Jewels – open & transparent

Directly from its country of origin (Finland / Lapland), our organic raw gold is imported into a
fairtrade international
certified precious metal refinery in Germany, which has many years of experience with ecologically mined and fairly traded gold. The gold is strictly separated from conventional processes, analyzed, purified and processed into the 18 carat gold alloys we require.

We receive these with corresponding material certificates and certificates documenting the origin of the metals used.

Jewelry models, which we produce in small series, are cast according to our model in a Swiss precious metal foundry. This is done strictly separately from conventional gold, in processes that are separate for us: our own wax tree and our own flask guarantee that it is exclusively our organic and fairly traded gold. A certificate of conformity signed by the foundry provides precise details of the gold batch and the casting pattern number, thus ensuring traceability to the raw materials used.

Each piece of SIGNUM jewelry is unique in its design and has its own identification number.

Signum Fair Jewels collaborates with two Swiss gemstone setting workshops that precisely set shining old-cut diamonds, sparkling brilliant-cut diamonds in various natural shades and colored gemstones in your pieces of jewelry.

Each piece of jewelry now shines in its very own splendor!

After the final inspection, each piece of jewelry leaves our factory with a certificate proving the exact identity and traceability of the raw materials used.

Transparency is not only important to us in the manufacturing process – behind every certificate are committed, positive-minded people who are committed to a sustainable future and make every piece of jewelry vibrant, precious and unique.

Wishing you pure joie de vivre
