Transparency and Values
Human rights
Good Working conditions
We are committed to producing TUOHI Jewelry ethically. All pieces of TUOHI Jewelry are handcrafted in a precious metal foundry and a goldsmith’s workshop in Finland. Our jewelry is made by goldsmiths who work under safe and humane conditions and are paid a fair wage for their work. In Finland employees’ rights are guaranteed by labor legislation and collective agreements. These specify - among other things - minimum wages, working hours, holidays, and sick-leave pay.
Social Justice
We naturally eschew all forms of discrimination. Being a small company, we rely on good relations between all persons who work with us. This requires accepting and valuing individual differences. We also expect our our Finnish and Swedish suppliers to have social justice as an explicit and proven company value.
Culture
Give Back
TUOHI Jewelry's founder and designer, Reetta Tuohi, is a monthly donator to the Greenpeace organization. "Sustainability is the core value of our brand. I want to support Greenpeace cause they are doing pioneering work for the benefit of our planet".
Handcrafted
The handcrafting process begins in the goldsmith's workshop by creating TUOHI Jewelry's prototypes. After casting the jewelry in a precious metal foundry in a neighboring region the goldsmith gives each piece a final touch.
Materials / Ingredients
No product in the entire product range must fall under the LIST OF PROHIBITIONS. 100% of the total product range must meet at least one of the materials/ingredients criteria: CERTIFIED ORGANIC PRODUCT, MADE WITH CERTIFIED ORGANIC MATERIAL, NATURAL, MADE WITH SUSTAINABLE RAW MATERIAL, RECYCLED, UPCYCLED, SCIENCE-BASED, SUSTAINABLE BLEND, ECO PATCHWORK.
Recycled
We use certified 100% recycled silver in all our jewelry, acquired from responsible operators, mainly in Scandinavia. A small part comes from elsewhere in the EU. All the raw material is certified recycled and conflict-free. Mining new metals means contaminating water sources, causing erosion and damaging biodiversity. Using recycled silver as a material for jewelry is an ecological choice in itself because this precious metal can be recycled, repaired and reused again and again.
Upcycled
We use certified 100% recycled silver in all our jewelry. We also collect all silver left over in our manufacturing and utilize it when making our next jewelry pieces.
Sustainability
Locally-made
All pieces of TUOHI Jewelry are produced locally in Finland. Once the items have been cast in a neighboring region, the final touch is given by a goldsmith in the city of Tampere where TUOHI Jewelry is also designed.
Zero Waste
We use 100% recycled silver in all our jewelry, acquired from responsible operators, mainly in Scandinavia. All silver leftover is collected in our production process and saved for later use. This precious metal can be recycled, repaired, and reused again and again. Reusability makes silver one of the most sustainable materials you can choose from. The more silver is melted for reuse the less needs to be mined. We also have pre-order products in our jewelry collection.
