After a couple of years designing for high street brands Sarah Brannagan decided to embark on her own journey. She was alarmed by questionable ethics and lack of accountability surrounding the fashion industry and wanted to be part of the change rather than the problem. In 2016 Sarah decided to go back to her roots as a fine jeweller and focus on creating made to order and hand crafted pieces using responsibly sourced materials and gemstones. Each piece of April March jewellery is consciously handcrafted from our Sussex workshop with our core values reflecting sustainable practices and transparency. Sustainability is at the core of everything we do. We make season-less treasures and heirlooms which are made with love to last. We are environmentally conscious, honest in our approach and pledge only to work with suppliers who offer transparency within their supply chain so we can trace the materials back to their roots. Each piece of April March jewellery is handcrafted in our U.K workshop. We use the finest responsibly sourced materials supplied by small scale accredited British suppliers. We are by no means perfect but we are working on it. Our aim is minimise the impact our small brand has on the planet; the people and animals who live on it. We are a slow living brand. We like it that way. From our choice of materials to our planet friendly packaging we strive to ensure a slow and mindful process throughout each area of production. We recycled silver, recycled gold, Fairmined silver and fairmined gold across all of our designs. We are a Fairmined Licensed partner our licence number is GB30071. Our gemstones and diamonds are sourced from conflict free suppliers. We believe in a transparent supply chain that supports the transformation of the livelihoods of artisan small scale miners and their communities.
