Sustainable Jewelry

This is the category that we are most excited about! Our business actually began by using vintage and older components, deconstructed from other pieces and remixed to make new fashionable jewelry art! So now, more than 30 years later it is wonderful to see that this is a wonderful trend, a fantastic way to incorporate the beauty of the past, and make more art for the future. JM has several classes coming up in June to futher her abilities in this manner….she is very much looking forward to the new techniques she will learn….we will post info here!

Although we are small business oriented, there is nothing that says we can not take the lead from some of the larger corporations! We are very much looking forward to posting information and recieving feedback.
