Astor & Orion | Sustainably Made Jewelry


Our Approach to Sustainability

At Astor & Orion, sustainability isn’t a trend—it’s the foundation. This brand evolved from a lifelong desire to merge aesthetics with ethics, crafting jewelry that reflects both personal style and respect for the planet.

Our Sustainability Pillars

Uniquely among designer jewelry brands, we integrate third-party certified production, 3D sculpting, and circular design into one integrated sustainability strategy. Each strategic pillar strengthens the next, creating an impact that is greater than the sum of its parts.

Closing the Loop: Our Jewelry Take-Back Program

Eventually, even our most loved pieces reach their end. That’s why we offer a jewelry take-back program. Thanks to our thoughtful design, we can simply recycle old pieces by weight through local recycling facilities in Seattle, avoiding international shipping and minimizing emissions. To encourage participation, customers receive a credit toward a future purchase when they send something back.
