**Our Culture**:
At Vashi, we don’t just sell fine jewellery. By making it easy for everyone to create a bespoke piece, we’re on a mission to transform the entire industry. It’s an extraordinary opportunity - and we’re looking for exceptional people who find it as exciting as we do.

Our culture is currently built around six key values**:be yourself, be fair, be friendly, be co-creative, be daring and be ethical.**

These values come to life every time we interact with our customers, and they’re at the heart of everything we do for our employees too. From our company benefits, which include a range of wellbeing initiatives as well as financial support and advice, to our warm, welcoming working environment, we’re building the Vashi culture and community from the ground up to create better jewellery in a better way.

**Context**:
Vashi is an ethical, fine jewellery brand built on a simple human truth: something you made means more than something you bought. Our Co-Creation USP puts customers at the heart of their product and with access to a rarely seen process, our designers and craftspeople work together with each customer to guide and inspire every Vashi piece. Customers can pull up a chair to customise their design, personalise with an engraving, choose a treasured stone, or design completely from scratch.
