How is KAY Jewelry Responsible?
Responsibility is at the heart of what we do at KAY. That’s why we’ve taken steps to extend the life of the jewelry we create, and you enjoy. Doing our part to reuse, resell, and repurpose jewelry is just one way we lessen our impact on the environment and maintain a more responsible supply chain.
KAY’s Responsible Jewelry Practices
Recovering Metals with the Responsible Jewelry Council
We’re committed to finding innovative ways to give older jewelry new life. Last year, KAY Jewelers' parent company Signet took part in recovering more than 28,000 troy ounces of gold through jewelry trade-in programs, like the KAY Gold Exchange. We also partner with refineries who are Responsible Jewelry Council members to repurpose and recirculate these precious metals back into the global economy.
Diamond Upgrades
The diamonds you purchase at KAY can get even more love when you use our trade in program. We accept diamonds at 100% trade-in value, which can be put towards upgraded jewelry for you. KAY also repurposes loose diamonds acquired through trade-ins into new and brilliant designs, maintaining a responsible supply chain through a cycle of repurposing and recirculating precious stones and resources.
Pre-Owned Jewelry
Extend the life of beautifully crafted pieces when you discover impeccably restored pre-owned jewelry from KAY. As part of our dedication to repurposing and recirculating jewelry, choosing to go pre-owned is a great way for our customers to participate in our sustainability initiatives.
KAY's Jewelry Repair Services
You treasure it, we help you take care of it. KAY can help you protect your jewelry so it can be passed down generation to generation. Working with you, our KAY experts determine the best repair and maintenance solutions for the long-term lifespan of your jewelry. Every repair service comes with a complimentary cleaning, so you get your jewelry back in sparkling condition.
How To Care for Jewelry and Make It Last
How you clean, care for, and store your jewelry will help it last longer. We recommend best practices like storing jewelry individually to avoid any breakage, scratching, or tangling. Keeping your jewelry clean using jewelry-safe cleaners and products will help your earrings, bracelets, rings, necklaces, and jewelry sets stand the test of time.
