Jewellery that Doesn’t Cost the Earth
Mondial is an Australian Family business. At the core of the business and guiding everything we do are the family values that were instilled in us by our parents and are today the hallmark of our approach.
Inherent in these values is to care for each other, our customers and our community. And part of caring for the community is respect for the environment and the world we live in. As responsible citizens and business owners, we must do our part to help minimise the way in which operating our enterprise could contribute to climate change and minimise our carbon footprint. In 2020, our business became carbon neutral, and we continue to evaluate and perfect our business systems and practices to ensure that our environmental impact is minimised.
Working and Sourcing Locally
Sourcing locally allows us to closely monitor the quality and integrity of the materials we use in our jewellery creations. We have the privilege of personally selecting each component, ensuring that they meet our rigorous standards and align with our values of craftsmanship and authenticity.
Furthermore, by sourcing locally, we reduce our carbon footprint and minimise the environmental impact associated with long-distance transportation. By choosing local suppliers, we contribute to the preservation of natural resources and promote sustainable practices within our industry.
Additionally, we are proud to work with suppliers and manufacturers who are members of the Responsible Jewellery Council (RJC). The RJC is a non-profit organisation dedicated to promoting responsible ethical, social, and environmental practices that respect human rights within the Diamond, Gold, and Platinum Group Metals Jewellery supply chain.
Sourcing locally offers us the advantage of having a closer relationship with our suppliers, providing for effective communication, efficient collaboration, and a shared understanding of our vision and expectations. It enables us to design for source materials that truly reflect the unique character and essence of our local environment, resulting in jewellery that is distinctive and truly special.
Locally Made
Supporting local businesses and sourcing materials locally is not only an ethical choice but also an opportunity to create a positive impact on our community, environment, and the quality of our craftsmanship. We firmly believe that collaboration and cooperation with local businesses create a positive ripple effect, promoting economic development and job opportunities and greater social cohesion
Upcycling and Ethical Sourcing
We are proud to utilise 100% recycled gold, offering a source of gold that promotes pride and sustainability. By choosing recycled gold, we ensure that our jewellery is not only beautiful, but also protects human rights and upholds our social responsibility. We take pride in sourcing our gold exclusively from the only manufacturer who is a member of the Responsible Jewellery Council.
This means that we are committed to respectful sourcing and traceability of raw materials including our gemstones, many of which are sourced from Australia. Ensuring that we address issues such as human rights, labour rights, environmental impact, mining practices, and product disclosure.
