We continually assess and refine our processes, seeking to align ourselves with the values of sustainability and social consciousness. 

 

For example:

 

• The silver inclusions, ear wires, and bails contain approximately 50% reclaimed silver, and are manufactured in the USA

 

• The art glass is mixed and rolled out by a USA manufacturer

 

• We carefully select eco-conscious paints

 

• We choose 100% recycled, USA-made jewelry boxes, and tree-free totes

 

• We select recycled paper with soy-based ink for postcards and business cards

 

• We buy wind energy for the home studio, and choose to forgo air conditioning in our studios

 

• We donate pieces on a regular basis to benefits for non-profits

 

• We obtain chains from a company who verifies that the chains are fabricated under fair working conditions.
