IN GENERAL
We avoid doing things that will wreck the earth
We choose quality over discounts.

Ash Hilton Jewellery is handcrafted in New Zealand using local, ethically sourced materials and low tech work practices.
We believe people deserve a fair wage no matter where they live in the world.
We're more concerned with where diamonds come from than tiny differences in clarity and colour (that you'd never notice anyway).
We re-use tape if it’s still sticky.
We pay all our staff a living wage.
We believe that love is for everyone and stand shoulder to shoulder with our LGBTQIA+ family.
Dismantling white supremacy and smashing the patriarchy are at the core of all of our business decisions.
