From the little things like asking people to think twice before printing an email to major things like supporting the planting of trees to help our eco-system, our ultimate mission is to help preserve our planet and replenish its resources.
As an eco-friendly organization, we make every attempt possible to ensure we are doing everything possible to do our part. We use recycled metals, wood and seed beads, repurposed leather from upholstery and garment factories and semi-precious gemstones in our designs. Our packaging and marketing materials are made with recycled paper. We use digital lookbooks and line sheets in an effort to save paper.
We are so excited to enter into partnership with One Tree Planted. One Tree Planted is a 501c3 organization that plants trees around the world. They are small in size, but huge in impact. With them, we can concentrate our efforts in a designated area to increase our impact. For every item sold, we will make a donation to plant a tree!! This gives everyone an opportunity to support the environment, while wearing fabulous, handmade jewelry and using the absolute best ingredients on their bodies. It’s a win-win for everyone, but most importantly, it’s a win for our environment.
