Nestled amidst the stunning scenery of Lorne, on Australia’s iconic Great Ocean Road, lies Il Vetro Lorne – a haven for eco-conscious jewellery lovers. This brand isn’t just about creating beautiful pieces; it’s about transforming everyday discards into wearable treasures, all while celebrating the beauty of the coast.
Il Vetro Lorne has been awarded both the organisation Sustainability Award, and three product awards for their Gin & Soda Necklace, Wine Glass Pendant & Loutitt Bay Pendant.
Founded by Lorne local Ruth, Il Vetro Lorne’s heart and soul lie in its use of recycled materials. Each delightful piece is meticulously crafted from used glass bottles and sea glass, collected along the pristine Surf Coast and beyond. Imagine sparkling wine bottles transformed into dazzling pendants, or the smooth whisper of sea glass adorning your neck. The result is a collection of jewellery that’s not only captivating but also tells a story – of the ocean’s beauty and our responsibility to protect it.
Il Vetro Lorne Founder Ruth is delighted to be recognised for her sustainable business:
“I’m honoured to be awarded and recognised for my jewellery through the 2024 Sustainability Award. Creating a sustainable brand has been a dream and passion project of mine for years. The high calibre of the other award winners and the professionalism of the organisers make this recognition even more meaningful.”
– Ruth Blackhirst, Founder, Il Vetro Lorne
Il Vetro Lorne’s commitment to sustainability extends far beyond the materials they use. Their diligent production process ensures minimal environmental impact:
Each modern jewellery piece is a one-of-a-kind conversation starter, a testament to appreciation for both exquisite design and environmental responsibility. With every clink of a pendant or brush of smooth sea glass against your skin, you’ll carry a piece of the ocean’s magic and the promise of a greener future.
“We’re honoured to present Il Vetro Lorne with this sustainability award for their beautiful, recycled jewellery. Their commitment to using discarded glass bottles is a creative and impactful way to reduce waste. Traditional jewellery manufacturing often relies on virgin materials and harsh extraction processes. Il Vetro Lorne’s dedication to upcycling not only creates unique and stunning pieces, but also inspires a more sustainable approach to the fashion industry.”
Anna Chatburn, Founder, Sustainability Award
So, if you’re seeking jewellery that speaks to your soul and your values, look no further than Il Vetro Lorne. Let them adorn you with the beauty of the ocean, all while making a positive impact on the world we share.
