Eco Friendly Jewelry

An average pair of wedding bands from non-recycled metal results in tons of toxic waste. If the couple were to put the tailings in their bedroom, they would measure six feet wide, six feet high and ten feet long!

Every single eco friendly wedding ring on this site is either made from recycled precious metal or has been acquired from artisanal miners in developing countries.

In our studio, to create our eco friendly jewelry, we have state of the art ventilation systems on all our soldering stations, each individually controlled by our jewelers in order to conserve energy. We also have many safety features in place. We use non-harmful chemicals and solders as much as we can in the day-to-day manufacturing of our jewelry. We dehydrate and filter our waste fluids from our fabrication processes.

For our eco-friendly jewelry production, we pay a premium to purchase "green power" from Public Service of New Mexico. We also offset our carbon use by contributing to Wild Earth Guardians, a New Mexico environmental organization that does ecological restoration of riparian areas.

We recycle our metals, cardboard, cans and glass. We use 100% recycled office paper and toilet paper. We use compact fluorescent lighting everywhere except in our gallery.



Green areas are also an important element in environmental stewardship. In front of our office we removed a ten by thirty foot monolithic concrete slab and planted a xeroscape garden. We constructed a small central courtyard and garden where we enjoy gathering for lunch, break times and special occasions.

We have invested a great deal in making our working space beautiful for all of us to enjoy. Our studio, which we remodeled in 2001, is light, colorful and full of art.

We are constantly looking for opportunities to create a more comfortable workplace with a lower environmental impact.
