Sustainability
From Nature, For Nature: Our Commitment to Protecting the Earth
At Make it Crystal, sustainability and ethical practices are at the heart of everything we do. From our materials to our processes, we’re committed to creating beautiful, lasting products that respect the planet and the people who inhabit it.
Eco-Friendly Packaging
We’ve reimagined our packaging to be as eco-friendly as possible:
- All plastic bags, no matter the size, have been replaced with durable paper alternatives.
- Common plastic nail files in our tool kits are swapped for elegant, biodegradable wooden ones.
- For essential components such as nail adhesives, sample nails for sizing, and tape, we use recycled plastic to minimize waste without compromising functionality.
A Eco-Friendly Alternative
Our crystal nails are made to last a lifetime, offering a long-term alternative to disposable plastic and acrylic press-ons:
With proper care, our crystal nails can be used again and again. Unlike plastic nails, adhesives won’t leave residue on crystal nails. Simply clean them, and they’ll be as fresh as new for every application. Crystal nails are not only a sustainable choice but also a timeless investment in nail beauty.
A Made-to-Order Business Model
We craft every product on demand, ensuring that each piece is made with purpose and care. This approach eliminates excess inventory, reducing waste and minimizing the risk of unsold items ending up in landfills.
Ethical Practicing
Local Mineral Vendors
We carefully source all our crystals from trusted local suppliers who provide credentials verifying their practices.
Avoiding Conflict Crystals
We make a conscious effort to exclude materials linked to human rights violations. For example, we do not use lapis lazuli or other conflict stones, prioritizing both ethical practices and social responsibility.
Make it Crystal Goals
While we strive for full transparency in every step of our production process, we recognize the inherent challenges of the mineral industry, where precise documentation from mining to distribution can be limited.
- Full Supply Chain Transparency by 2027: We are actively working toward building a fully trusted and transparent supply chain by 2027, ensuring greater accountability and traceability in our materials.
-
Certified B-Corp by 2028:
At Make it Crystal, sustainability isn’t just a value—it’s our commitment to the future. While becoming a certified B Corp is a goal we deeply aspire to, as a young startup, we recognize that meeting the rigorous standards takes time and growth. That’s why we’ve set our sights on achieving B Corp certification by 2028.
In the meantime, we’re building our foundation with sustainability at the core of every decision we make, ensuring that when the time comes, we’re ready to meet the challenge.
Our Commitment
Every Make it Crystal product represents a blend of sustainability, craftsmanship, and ethical responsibility. By choosing us, you’re not just investing in exquisite, one-of-a-kind crystal nails—you’re supporting a brand that values the planet and its people. Together, we can make beauty more sustainable, one crystal at a time.

FAQ
Do I have to shop every month?
The Gem Nails Circle is completely flexible — there’s no obligation to shop monthly. You can pause your membership anytime, or simply let your monthly store credit accumulate until you’re ready to use it.
Does the Gem Nails Circle have a monthly fee?
Yes — it’s $80 USD per month, and every dollar goes directly into your store credit. There are no extra fees. Think of it like a savings account, but with exclusive perks and early access to rare drops. You can cancel or pause anytime.
Is my nail set reserved once I join the membership?
Yes — once you’ve been a member for 2 months (accumulative, not necessarily continuous), you’ll have a guaranteed reserved spot. Only 9 sets are crafted each month, and they’ve sold out within the first week every time since launch. Your membership helps secure availability—especially if you're planning for a special occasion.
Are my nails crafted as soon as I join the membership?
No — becoming a member reserves your future production slot, but your nails are only carved after you’ve paid in full and submitted your sizing. Once we have both, your custom set enters production with a 6-week lead time. Think of it as securing your place in line for a future bespoke order.
How do I pause or cancel my membership?
After signing up, you’ll automatically have a member account, and a confirmation email will be sent to your inbox. Open that email, scroll to the bottom, and you’ll find options to pause or cancel your membership.
How can I use my store credit?
Yes, your store credit is automatically added to your Make it Crystal account. To use it, just sign in on our website with the email linked to your membership (Main page → side navigation bar → “Account”). At checkout, you’ll see the “use store credit” option. Not sure which email is linked? Email us at info@makeitcrystalofficial.com and we’ll help you out.
Do I lose my store credit if I cancel or pause?
No — once your monthly payment is processed, that store credit is yours to keep. It never expires, and no cancellation or pause will remove it. Think of it as savings account specifically for jewellery nails — it’s yours, always.
