Sustainability
Creating jewelry has its own set of environmental and ethical considerations, and Angela Monaco Jewelry strives to craft the finest pieces with the lowest impact. By working with family-owned businesses on Philadelphia’s Historic Jewelers Row, Angela Monaco supports the local economy while minimizing the environmental disturbance of transportation and shipping.
Reclaimed precious metals and ethically-mined gemstones are used whenever possible, and environmentally conscious studio practices like disposing of chemicals properly to diminish the gallery’s carbon footprint.
In-store events are hosted at Angela Monaco Jewelry's sister store, Ritual, to promote local artists committed to sustainability, furthering the brand’s aim to create a community of environmental awareness in Philadelphia and beyond.
