It’s routine now for AOC to check the sustainability credentials of jewelers featured in our pages. Vivara is the largest jewelry in Brazil, and Gisele Bundchen (IG) is one of the most prominent eco-warriors in the world, and particularly in her home country of Brazil. Together, they make sweet music for stones lovers.

Vivara has posted their sustainability policy online. Vivara has an application pending with the Responsible Jewellery Council, with a target certification date of September 2021.

AOC is not an expert in any way on sustainability practices among luxury jewelers. We note that the Vivara sustainability policy is very general and lacking in any specificity around goals or expected dates of achieving them.
