sustainability efforts
Environmental sustainability and waste reduction have 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.

- Material: The metal used to create my jewellery comes from a supplier dedicated to ethical sourcing and environmental sustainability. All material (sterling silver) is processed from 100% recycled metals.
- 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, these are not made from recycled material**
- 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.
