VAARDAL

curator of vintage & antique jewelry

We are a small team of professionals and enthusiasts based in Geneva, Switzerland, driven by our passion for jewelry. We hunt down the finest pieces from the 19th and 20th century to share with you here on the web page. All our pieces are made from solid gold, and each piece undergoes testing and inspection by our expert jewelers. Afterward, the jewelry is professionally cleaned and polished before being showcased for sale.  

We are proud to represent a more ethical and ecological alternative to buying new, and believe in the importance of conserving, rather than consuming.

Sustainability in Action

Our solid gold pre-loved rings offer a truly sustainable choice. By rehoming these stunning vintage pieces, we avoid the need to mine new diamonds, gemstones, or gold, giving timeless treasures a new life.

Mining for gold, gemstones, and diamonds comes with significant environmental and human costs. The process often involves deforestation, habitat destruction, and water contamination from toxic chemicals like mercury and cyanide. It depletes natural resources, generates massive waste, and contributes to climate change.

In addition to environmental harm, diamond mining in conflict zones frequently relies on forced labor and unsafe working conditions. They are often used to fund violence and wars, causing immense suffering in affected communities.

Choosing pre-loved or ethically sourced jewelry helps reduce the demand for harmful mining practices, promoting both environmental sustainability and humane treatment.
