♻ ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT & SUSTAINABILITY ♻
My studio is run in the most eco-friendly way possible. Metal scraps are saved and reclaimed, no harsh chemicals are used and my studio is powered by 100% renewable energy sources including wind and solar power. All metals offered are reclaimed from previous manufacturing processes. Read on in the "About section" for more specific information about the metals and stones I use.
PACKAGING
When you buy from us, you are in for a treat. We have beautiful “ready to gift” packages. Every piece of jewelry comes carded on a custom chocolate and steel card that is then put in a jewelry box. The jewelry box is gift wrapped with dried flowers and a unique letterpress gift card, tucked on top of every box so you are instantly ready to gift it. Our first series of letterpress cards feature a quote by Mr. Rogers. Stay tuned to see the next collection of letterpress cards and collect them all.
From the moment your jewelry arrives in the mail you glimpse the original art of golden and blush poppies, then are nudged to "never forget how wildly capable you are", to an unboxing like never before. You will smile once you receive your piece of handmade jewelry in our super pretty mailers. You will love your unique unboxing experience.
Our packaging is made from sustainably sourced materials and is 100% recyclable. The flowers are compostable. There is so much waste generated in commerce and we are committed to reduce it.
PROCESSING TIME:
Currently our turnaround time is 1-3 business days. Custom orders take about 5-7 business days.

5 out of 5 starsI love the piece of jewelry I ordered, company contacted me with a small preference question before shipping my order instead of just assuming, packaging was lovely and shipping was pretty fast. ON my short list for future gifts!

5 out of 5 starsI have loved the quote on this piece for more years than I can remember; I even included the source (the Desiderata) in my wedding ceremony. To have these words on such a beautiful necklace to wear whenever I need a reminder that the universe is unfolding as it should is truly a gift. Shipping was lightning quick, and the packaging was gorgeous inside and out, too. Thank you so much this wearable work of art!

5 out of 5 starsThis was purchased when I was very down and needed motivation. I wear it every day. It serves as a reminder to be hopeful and keep moving forward. This will be a great gift for anyone in need of a lift in managing everyday life.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience. Others that experience periods of feeling down can benefit. I'm glad that you connected to this message of hope. I do too!
