sustainability efforts
Sustainability and waste reduction has always been very important to me. I've recently made some changes that support these ideals. I hope the little things we do every day can make a big difference.

- Packaging: My jewellery boxes and other packaging materials are made almost entirely from recycled material. For shipping, orders are sent in paper padded mailers, which are made from 100% recycled material and are recyclable. **I'm still working on transitioning my ring boxes, so for now rings will be packaged in my old jewellery boxes, which are plastic. They are great to store your jewellery in though, so no need to throw them away!**
- Single-use plastsics: I've recently stopped using resins in my Artery line in an effort to reduce the use of single-use plastics in the studio. In order to fill the small recessed areas of these designs it took several syringes, plastic cups, and packing tape per set. Although these pieces were very popular, and fun to create, I decided to focus on resin designs that require far less waste. For example, my newest line, Osteon, requires no syringes or packing tape and mixing cups for resins are reused whenever possible.
- If you're thinking of a custom design with stones, I'd like to discuss the option of using lab-created stones.
