Some of you may have noticed that the new jewelry designs on
the website do not have any precious metal or gemstone materials. And the previous collection included a
few elements of them here or there, but it was very limited.
In designing, I want to create pieces that are beautiful to
look at and an enjoyment to wear. I think that the beauty of a piece is more
that what we see, it also includes how a it was created and what materials were
used. A jewelry piece may be beautifully designed, but if it is made of
materials that were collected in a way that is harmful to the environment and
was further processed in by individuals who are being treated in an unethical
or harmful work environment, then that’s not very beautiful in my mind.
Over the past months I have been leaning more about the
issue of ethical sourcing in regards to jewelry designing. The further on I go,
the more I have been striving to be thoughtful about the supplies that I am
incorporating into the designs.
