RESPONSIBILITY
Since 2002, Julie Sandlau has crafted exclusive jewelry founded on the belief that true luxury arises from uncompromising craftsmanship, integrity, and consideration. From our use of recycled precious metals to our ethically certified production in Vietnam, we are dedicated to uniting elegance with responsibility — without ever compromising on quality.
OUR COMMITMENT
At Julie Sandlau, we craft all our jewelry in 100% recycled gold and silver — our way of uniting luxury with responsibility.
We produce everything at our own factory in Vietnam, ensuring complete control over craftsmanship and full traceability.
Since 2019, our factory has been a member of the Responsible Jewellery Council (RJC), a hallmark of our ethical standards.
We are proud members of the Watch and Jewellery Initiative 2030, the UN Global Compact, and the Women’s Empowerment Principles, reflecting our broad commitment to sustainability.
Our diamonds are Kimberley Process certified, guaranteeing conflict-free origins.
All CO₂ emissions from our factory are fully offset — a natural part of our responsibility as a modern jewelry brand.
A LASTING COMMITMENT
At Julie Sandlau, sustainability is not a trend — it is a promise.
Through responsible production, ethical sourcing, and the empowerment of people, we work towards a more transparent and conscientious jewelry industry.
Every Julie Sandlau piece is an expression of beauty, integrity, and care — created to be worn today and cherished for generations.
