Each piece has been meticulously hand forged in .925 recycled sterling silver, by yours truly. Using recycled precious metals to create an everlasting heirloom piece not only benefits the wearer, but also benefits the Earth by reusing limited materials that would otherwise end up in landfills. Sourcing both the metal and the precious gemstones as *ethically* as possible is highly important to my creative process. To honor the Earth's creations while protecting it, rather than causing more environmental harm.
