Why Recycled Silver Jewelry is the Future of Sustainable Luxury
At Manivar, we believe luxury shouldn’t cost the earth. That’s why we craft our jewelry from 100% recycled silver—a choice that’s as beautiful for you as it is for the planet. But what exactly is recycled silver, and why does it matter? Let’s dive in.
The Problem with Mined Silver
-
Environmental Damage: Mining creates toxic waste, deforestation, and water pollution (1 ton of silver ore = 10,000+ kg of waste).
-
Energy Intensive: New silver requires 5x more energy than recycled silver.
-
Human Cost: Unsafe labor conditions in mines.

How Recycled Silver Works
-
Source: Old jewelry, industrial scraps, electronic waste.
-
Process: Melted, refined to 925 purity, and handcrafted into new designs.
-
Quality: Identical to mined silver (same BIS hallmark standards).
💡 Manivar’s Touch:
"Every Manivar piece is stamped with a ‘Recycled 925’ mark—so you know your jewelry carries a legacy, not a footprint."
