Book excerpt: Sustainability is foremost in the minds of many designer-makers at themoment; there has been a surge of environmentally-sustainabledevelopments in the collections shown recently at Origin, NewDesigners in Islington, Pulse and Collect. Jewellers are veryaware of sustainability issues, as such a large proportion of theirtraditional materials come from non-sustainable sources (preciousstones and metals) and they have traditionally used acids, dyes, andother techniques not renowned for their eco-friendliness.
