~Metals~
All sterling silver used is sourced responsibly (ethically mined) & or with the majority being composed of recycled sterling. Our Gold fill may also include up to 85% recycled gold.
~ Shipping Supplies and Materials ~
~ No more Uline supplies. We have divested from this company as we have found that their ethics are not aligned with our own. We are currently purchasing our shipping supplies from EcoEnclose and Paper Mart.
No more bubble mailers!
*International and Domestic Orders are shipped using biodegradable / recyclable materials. We use either cardboard boxes from paper mart, flat rate priority boxes from USPS or recycled padded paper mailers from Ecoenclose. We do not use bubble wrap. *Unfortunately international orders require a plastic invoice sleeve on the outside of their orders so this part is not biodegradable, but may be recyclable depending on your region.
~Our shipping tape is also plant based, renewable and biodegradable!
~Jewelry boxes are made from 95% recycled materials, and are recyclable, less interior padding and tissue paper (biodegradable). To keep your jewelry from tarnishing, we recommend storing your jewelry in your L.Greenwalt Jewelry box.
The L.Greenwalt Jewelry studio uses biodegradable gloves, biodegradable zip lock bags and participates in scrap recycling with unused and left over metals, in addition to recycling responsibly in the L.Greenwalt Jewelry office.
~Vegan~
All L.Greenwalt Jewelry is vegan. What does this mean? We do not use animal products in our jewelry, or in the production of our jewelry. That includes pearls, leather, bone etc, to our carving wax when creating a design to our buffing compound when polishing a piece of jewelry.

5 out of 5 starsSo happy with this necklace! I was worried that i wouldn’t get it in time for my event but the seller responded so quickly to my shipping question and made sure I did. The necklace itself is gorgeous. I liked shiny gold even better in person than the photos! Very happy with my purchase!

Care instructions
Our * shiny * finished styles can be gently cleaned using a standard jewelry polishing cloth. This especially works well on brass, bronze, and sterling silver metals and can also be used for gold fill.
Gold fill can also be gently cleaned by using a clean rag and rubbing alcohol or by running your item under warm soapy water, rinse and gently pat dry.
Our * matte * Brass, and Sterling Silver styles come with care kits. Please follow the instructions enclosed in your care kit to maintain that nice satin glow.
What is shiny? Think of a glossy finish, that yields glimmers of light when moved.
What is matte? Think of the finish of a chalk board, no gloss, or shine. A flatter surface that yields little to no shine.

Ordering internationally - Import Duties / VAT Taxes
Ordering for Internationally?
Please know that your country may charge tax / VAT fees.
L.Greenwalt Jewelry is not responsible for these fees and cannot pay them, as it is illegal to do so.
Hey! What is Gold Fill?
Gold Fill is an actual thick layer of gold that is bonded to a base metal (in our case that base metal is brass; an alloy of copper and zinc).
While gold plating is very, very thin and vulnerable to flaking and fading, gold fill is resilient and can last for years without diminishing because it has a substantially larger amount of gold.
Gold fill is an excellent economical option to pure gold, as well as environmentally. Our gold fill may also contain up to 85% recycled gold.
