Brand Story
Set up in 2019, Pepper You was founded by Jade Golding in Brighton, UK.
Inspired by nature and grown from a fascination with the journey of imagination to a physical product, each piece of jewellery is designed to be comfortable and wearable, from the smallest studs to the largest statement pieces.
All our jewellery is designed by Jade and every pair is individually hand crafted by Jade or a member of the small Pepper You team.
Alongside Pepper You jewellery we also stock goods made by other artists and small businesses in our online and physical shop. Everything is curated by Jade to sit alongside our jewellery and create an interesting collection of design lead and ethically made gifts and goods.
A note from Pepper You owner, Jade
I believe in consuming less and consuming better. All of the products we make and curate are designed to be loved for many seasons. I really want the things you buy from us to be pieces you’ll reach for again and again and hopefully keep for years to come.
I'm passionate about making more conscious choices throughout this business, from the materials we use to the brands we work with. Alongside my own jewellery designs, I carefully curate products from independent brands and makers whose environmental and ethical values align with my own. When choosing suppliers, I choose brands who consider the materials they use, how their products are manufactured and their wider ethical and environmental practices.
We produce our own jewellery in small batches, which allows us to be more thoughtful about how much we make and helps us avoid unnecessary overproduction and waste. We’re also really mindful of waste in our studio. We save and reuse our clay offcuts to create new designs and all of our acrylic offcuts are collected and recycled with our supplier. Wherever we can, we look for ways to use materials more efficiently and give leftover materials a second life.
We also use recyclable postal packaging for our online orders and I continually look for ways to reduce unnecessary packaging and waste throughout our supply chain.
I know that running a retail and manufacturing business will always have an environmental impact and I certainly don’t pretend to be perfect. Instead, I'm committed to continually looking at the way we work, making more thoughtful choices and finding practical ways to reduce our impact as we grow.
