Our Purpose
More Than Adornment
UNTAMD is a contemporary jewellery brand with a clear purpose: to create pieces that go beyond adornment. We believe jewellery should not only be aesthetically striking but also serve as a personal declaration, a reflection of identity, intention, and self-expression.
Built on Intention
Each piece is thoughtfully crafted using responsibly sourced materials, including recycled silver and gold. Inspired by organic forms and the raw beauty of nature, UNTAMD balances bold design with intentional craftsmanship to deliver pieces that are both meaningful and enduring.
Shared Purpose Across the Brand
Our purpose is not just a message, it’s our compass. It is shared across all internal and external stakeholders, featured in employee onboarding, creative briefs, marketing, and every collaboration with designers and artisans.
Sustainability & the SDGs
Our Sustainability Framework
UNTAMD is committed to creating a responsible and sustainable jewellery brand. We align our practices with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), ensuring our impact reaches beyond the jewellery itself.
