Company Ethos
At El Camino, we've always believed that how something is made is just as important as what it's made for.
From the very beginning, our goal has been simple: create meaningful travel jewellery that lasts, work with good people, and do our best to protect the places that inspire us to travel.
Everything we do is guided by those values.
Handmade to Last
Travel creates memories that stay with us for a lifetime, so we believe the jewellery that represents them should too.
Every El Camino bracelet, necklace and anklet is handmade in the UK using carefully chosen materials designed for adventure. From our durable woven cord and premium surgical-grade stainless steel to our hand-fired glass and responsibly sourced natural materials, every component is selected with longevity in mind.
We don't believe in fast fashion or disposable products. We create travel jewellery that's made to accompany you for years to come, growing alongside every new adventure.
Thoughtfully Made
We're proud to work with talented craftspeople and trusted suppliers, many of whom have been part of the El Camino journey since the very beginning.
From engraving our stainless steel Steps to creating our beautiful glass collections, every piece is made with care, attention to detail and a genuine passion for quality.
Building long-term relationships has always been just as important to us as building long-lasting products.
Caring for Our Planet
The places we travel inspire everything we create, so protecting them has always been at the heart of El Camino.
Since 2019, we've used plastic-free packaging, and today all of our packaging is made from 100% plant-based, home-compostable materials.
Our Cornwall headquarters is built from recycled shipping containers and powered using 100% renewable electricity. We recycle wherever possible, reuse materials throughout our workshop and are always looking for new ways to reduce our environmental impact.
Through every Animal and Nature Step purchased, we're also proud to support World Land Trust, helping to protect threatened habitats and wildlife for future generations.
People First
El Camino wouldn't exist without the incredible people behind it.
From our original engraver and skilled craftspeople to every member of our Cornwall team, each person plays an important part in creating the jewellery our customers wear around the world.
We've built a workplace that reflects what we value most: craftsmanship, creativity, wellbeing and a shared love of travel. We believe that when people enjoy what they do, it shows in every El Camino we make.
Thank you for supporting a small UK business and helping us continue doing what we love.
Together, we're creating jewellery that celebrates adventure while helping protect the places that inspire it.
