Ethical Practices

My Promise

Ethical Practices & Sustainable Jewelry

All of my pieces are hand-crafted by myself out of my studio in Saint Paul. The materials I use are always of the highest quality available to me while maintaining my ethical standards of utilizing re-claimed and re-cycled materials whenever possible. Please note that some stones are by nature a somewhat fragile and all jewelry needs proper care. Please do not wear your pieces in the ocean, or in pools or hot tubs. remove when washing hands with harsh soaps or using lotions. Please refrain from using harsh chemicals on your pieces to clean them. I recommend  using extra fine steel wool (0000) or baking soda and tooth brush on most pieces I create. As a courtesy to my clients I offer FREE cleaning and patina services on pieces purchased or commissioned from me. (shipping not included).  I also offer a one year repair warranty on commissioned pieces for any damages that occur during normal wear. After one year repairs will be done at my repair hourly rate plus materials used.  

Precious Metals (Gold & Silver)

95% of the metal used is 100% recycled. Recycling precious metal side steps the ecological risk involved in mining new metal. Once metal is refined and recycled, it is indistinguishable from new metal. Unlike mining new metal, recycling and refining precious metals results in little to no waste.
