Jewelry Ethics
My personal land ethic greatly shapes my work, from using 100% recycled or reclaimed gold or silver, to choosing reclaimed diamonds and ethically mined Montana sapphires. Reclaimed diamonds are heirloom or estate diamonds--diamonds that have had a previous life before they were recycled again into your jewelry.
My decade living in Montana brought me to the beauties that are Montana sapphires! They were the first stone I ever worked with--small blue treasures that I mined myself. Their beauty, hardiness, and ethical, small-scale mining practices continue to make them the core of my jewelry offerings.
I hope that my jewelry is a reflection of my wonder for the natural world--from earth to sky and our precious and interconnected place within it.
