Bio-Gems were first created by Bio Trimmings in 2012 after extensive research and development in identifying more ethical ways of creating fashion accessories. The result was a unique formula created that included discarded food extracts in combination with other bio ingredients resulting in a stunning looking new type of stone. We call these stones Bio-Gems.

The ingredients consist of the discarded part of food such as the peel of an orange or banana skin which creates a beautiful type of gem we call Bio-Gems since the materials used are eco-friendly and come from material that would otherwise be discarded in to a landfill.

We felt a strong need for a change in the fashion industry and its typical wasteful culture. We wanted to offer an alternative product that could prove fashion design could look stylish and be ethical using eco-friendly materials which would otherwise be discarded. We just felt like waking up one morning and changing the world, as you do.

Caring for your Bio-Gem

All Bio-Trimmings jewellery are handcrafted using sustainable materials that require some care instructions in order to maintain the high quality of your Bio-Gem jewellery. The metal we use is either sterling silver or up to 14ct gold- filled, where each Bio-Gem is individually set. As a result, special care is required. Please follow the advice below.

• Store your jewellery in the original packaging or a soft pouch to avoid scratches.
• Avoid immersing your jewellery in water and remove jewellery before showering to avoid scratches to the Bio-Gem and/or damages to the metal.
• Polish your jewellery occasionally with a soft, dry cloth to maintain its original finish.
• Remove jewellery before swimming, and/or applying products (e.g. perfume, hairspray, soap, or lotion), as this could harm the metal and the finish of the Bio-Gem.
• Avoid hard contact (i.e., knocking against objects) that can scratch or chip the Bio-Gem and/or metal.
