Ethically Source of Materials
I only purchase conflict free Diamonds from vendors that comply and are committed to the Kimberly Process and coloured gemstones from trusted suppliers with closed-loop tracking from mining to cutting and polishing. All the gemstones beads that I use in my designs are natural and untreated, most of them I purchased when I travel.
I welcoming the use of recycled metals wherever possible. Not only is it sustainable, it can make a bespoke piece even more specially with the knowledge that a portion of the gold or silver came from re-imagined family heirlooms.
