Reimagining Supply Chains
We're bringing a new level of transparency to the jewellery industry - because without it, there's no chance for sustainability. Our Product Passport allows you to trace the origin of your jewellery, from design to doorstep. This is an industry-first, ensuring that each MV piece is crafted to the highest standards, without compromise.
Setting the standard in ethical sourcing
Responsibly sourced materials are our non-negotiable. Our latest collection features lab-grown diamonds, created using 100% renewable energy and with full supply chain visibility. It's the start of us drastically reducing our footprint and continuing to disrupt industry standards. We only use 100% recycled silver and gold, and over half of our gemstone styles have been traced back to their mined origin, leaving no doubt about where they came from.
Taking lasting and meaningful action
We pair timeless designs with a circular approach, so your jewellery lasts a lifetime. We'll mend your pieces for free and buy back unwanted jewellery from any brand, so nothing goes to waste. Our business is growing, but we've got a plan to reduce our emissions - and we're bringing our suppliers and partners on the journey. Meanwhile, we're regenerating local land with Monica's Meadow, a biodiversity project at our Holkham HQ.

Promoting and Protecting Human Rights
We're dedicated to full visibility of our supply chain, so your jewellery never comes at a hidden human cost. Through annual audits, due diligence programmes and our supplier Code of Conduct, we can protect the safety, security and welfare of all individuals, building a more responsible industry where people always come first.
Stronger Together
Our commitment to empowering communities goes far beyond our supply chain. We have the chance to change peoples' lives and invest in their futures. From our longstanding partnership with Women for Women International (WfWI), to supporting LGBTQ+ charities including The Trevor Project and Stonewall UK, and the time our team spends volunteering with local causes, we're creating the changes we want to see in the world.
Customer Obsessed
Seriously. We wouldn't be where we are today withour your loyalty and support - we read every comment, respond to every query and welcome every suggestion. Constantly inspired by your uniqueness and the ways you style our pieces, everything we design is created with you in mind.

Delivering visionary leadership
We're committed to accelerating industry progress, with a pioneering approach and relentless determination. Monica dares to step up and push the boundaries of what's possible, while being honest about how much remains to be done. Her leadership is key to our success, and her sustainability vision is embedded throughout our whole team. We're united by our shared ambition to become a force for good, facing industry challenges head on and being trailblazers of change.
With courageous governance
Monica's integrity is shown in our collaborative governance framework. Our C-Suite leaders craft our mission and our Sustainability Steering Committee maps the path forward keeping our team on-track and challenging the status quo. The diverse Green Team encourages shared learning, exchanged during monthly meet-ups. And our We Belong Committee supports volunteering, work experience programmes and promotion Equity, Diversity and Inclusion across the business.
Leading and learning from others
We know we cannot go on this journey alone, nor do we want to. This is why we partner with the Responsible Jewellery Council, Positive Luxury and the Watch & Jewellery Industry 2030 - to identify and tackle industry-wide challenges head on. Our hope is to create a legacy that goes beyond out business, collaborating with and inspiring others to do better.
