ESG Commitment

KLYR™ | Responsibility by Design

 

KLYR™ was created out of discomfort.

Discomfort with the waste. The markup. The silence around what materials cost—not in currency, but in consequence.

The deeper we looked into the supply chains behind traditional jewelry, the harder it became to justify beauty that left damage behind. We didn’t want to just design better. We wanted to start from better.

That’s why we committed to lab-created stones—moissanite and diamonds grown with control, not extracted through destruction. It’s not about doing what’s trending. It’s about choosing to align beauty with clarity, not conflict.

KLYR™ is rooted in the belief that design must be conscious from its first cut. We don’t just reject unethical practices—we design systems that make them obsolete.


For us, ethics aren’t an afterthought. They’re the starting point.

The motivation wasn’t just to create jewelry.

It was to prove it could be done without contradiction.


Environmental


We don’t overproduce. We don’t overpackage.

We use lab-created stones because they don’t come with excavation, runoff, or blast zones. 

Our packaging is minimal, and chosen with intent. If it doesn’t serve the piece, it doesn’t get made.

No excess. No landfill-bound foam. No gift boxes that outlive the gift.

We’re not zero-impact—but we’re low-interference. We ship smart. We build lean. We don’t make noise if it’s not necessary.


Social


We work with people, not mystery supply chains.

We don’t need 14 middlemen and a loose story about how a stone “probably” didn’t cause harm.

Every partner we work with is selected based on process, not price.


We don’t chase ethics certifications. We read between the lines. If someone can’t tell us where it came from—we don’t touch it.

If a supplier runs silent—we don’t answer their call.

No exploitation. No fiction. Just clean sourcing and honest output.


Governance


We cannot sell clarity unless we’ve practiced it.

Internally, that means building with control—not crossing fingers and trusting marketing decks.

We track our sources. We track our output.

We don’t write policies we can’t stand behind, and we don’t make promises we can’t measure. There’s no greenwashing here. 

There’s no countdown to carbon zero because we’re not in the business of pretending we’re perfect. 

We’re in the business of doing what we say—piece by piece, supplier by supplier, without shortcuts.


So What Are We?

 

We’re not sustainable for the sake of trend.

We’re not ethical because it’s marketable.

We’re KLYR™—and the only thing we take more seriously than design is accountability.

This is clarity, built with restraint.

No waste. No noise. No contradiction.
