Gemstones
My commitment to environmental responsibility is at the heart of my jewelry practice. The majority of the gemstones I use are reclaimed from vintage jewelry, ensuring their continued life and beauty. When I do source new stones, I only select ethical, responsible, and traceable dealers. During my travels across the western United States, I seek out gemstonesfrom local lapidary artists and miners, fostering direct relationships. Every other year, I attend the Tucson Gem and Mineral Show to connect with miners and lapidary artists. I also purchase from a carefully selected group of Fairtrade dealers online. While no system is perfect, I strive to place environmental integrity at the core of my design. Please feel free to reach out with any questions.
Metals
I work with sterling silver, as well as 14k, 18k, and 22k gold. In my home studio, I prioritize sustainability by recycling metals whenever possible. When I do purchase new materials, I ensure they are sourced exclusively from refiners and companies dedicated to responsible metal recycling. Additionally, I can repurpose your unwanted jewelry, transforming it into something new and meaningful. I’m happy to melt down your pieces and craft a custom design that reflects both your personal story and a commitment to sustainability.
