Enric Majoral founded the company in the 1970s and since then it has become a benchmark in contemporary jewellery. Now, it also stands out for its strong commitment to sustainability.
With a Mediterranean essence, Majoral jewellery is a reflection of this landscape bathed by the sea, with its long sunsets and radiant sunrises. Its designs are inspired by the shapes and textures of nature, and most importantly, they are made with respect for it. This brand born on the shores of the Mediterranean – in Formentera – is a clear example of how jewellery can be an ornament, an artistic object and the starting point of a path towards sustainability.

The jeweller Enric Majoral began his craft as a self-taught jeweller in the 1970s, founding his vital and creative project: Majoral. The brand has always been based on contemporary jewellery, using innovative and artisanal techniques. Today, some fifty years after its birth, Majoral has become a symbol of jewellery in Catalonia, the Balearic Islands and the Valencian Country.
The sustainable values promoted by Majoral
The jewellery brand is a consumer and distributor of Fairmined certified gold, which guarantees that the metal comes from small-scale artisanal mines that respect the social and natural environment. The other type of metal used is recycled gold. The company also uses double-certified diamonds and untreated, natural-coloured sapphires from small-scale mines. It is also part of the Origen collective, a group of Catalan jewellery professionals committed to environmentally friendly practices.

In addition to this list of initiatives, the brand has recently taken a further step in its commitment to sustainability by joining the Responsible Jewelry Council (RJC) code of good practice. This is a leading organisation in setting sustainability standards for the jewellery and watch industry. The RJC membership came after Majoral passed the external monitoring audits carried out by this organisation. It thus becomes one of the six Catalan jewellery companies to achieve this code of good practices.
By obtaining this RJC code, Majoral guarantees that it carries out its activity in a sustainable and responsible manner throughout the value chain, with special emphasis on suppliers, labour rights, the environment, mining and transparency.

The Sunrise collection is the result of many of these social and environmental measures. Designed by Roc Majoral, it is made with natural sapphires carved in the Sunrise Facets studio in Ratnapura (Sri Lanka), led by Nilanthi Tisera, the first woman in charge of a lapidary studio in the country.
