MATERIAL GUIDE
At NUNCHI, we believe in empowering self-expression through jewelry that honors craftsmanship, sustainability, and cultural heritage. Our material guide helps you understand the unique properties of the metals we use, ensuring you make informed choices for pieces that resonate with your style and values.
OUR COMMITMENT TO SUSTAINABILITY
Guided by 'nunchi,' we craft with purpose. Sustainability is woven into every aspect of our operations, from ethical production practices to the preservation of cultural heritage. We are redefining the jewelry industry by blending environmental responsibility with cultural integrity.
ETHICAL AND RESPONSIBLE MANUFACTURING
Our collections are free from child labor and human trafficking, with all our jewelry crafted using 100% recycled or upcycled materials. Partnering with suppliers that are certified members of organizations like the Responsible Jewellery Council and Jewelers Board of Trade guarantees the highest levels of sustainability and traceability.
PRESERVING TRADITIONAL CRAFTMANSHIP
By collaborating with skilled Korean artisans, we preserve endangered techniques like Najeonchilgi, the intricate craft of inlaying Mother of Pearl, and the creation of traditional chopstick hair accessories. These practices honor our heritage and elevate our designs to cultural symbols.
SLOW AND INTENTIONAL PRODUCTION
We embrace a slow production model, valuing quality over quantity. Our handcrafting process preserves artisanal skills and ensures every piece tells a story of care, culture, and purpose.
