Mother Nature Inspired, Eco-conscious Jewelry created in the PNW

Sustainable | Elements

Ethically and sustainably sourced recycled materials encompass each handcrafted piece of work. All jewelry is created in my Portland, Oregon studio, or from the road, using precious metals combined with Mother Nature's gifts from the earth and sea. Each stone, shell and fossil embellishment has been found during my many travels and beachcombing adventures!

    Just opened my package! Your work oozes of quality, craftsmanship, and personal connection! Made for lasting beauty AND you are helping me upkeep with the polishing cloth and cool storage bag. It didn't go unnoticed that the packaging is compostable and recycleable!
