New happy place! #handmadejewelry

This household is opting out of purchasing anything tomorrow! If we grab lunch or dinner out, it will be at a small business with cash. I’ve logged out of my IG too and won’t even be opening it tomorrow.

When I think about sustainability in jewelry, I think about a spectrum of impacts our materials can have - from doing harm to people and planet, to mitigating that harm, to creating positive impacts. I strive to be on the positive impact side! #Fairmined gold and artisanally mined gems are the key

Looks very handy indeed!

Sustainability in jewelry is complex as we're working with finite resources as materials. That's why it's extra important to consider all aspects of sustainability (including cultural and economic, not just environmental). Fairmined gold ensures responsibility in all these areas #sustainablejewelry

I usually do! Had to miss this year though. Major fomo the whole time haha but I’ll go next year I’m sure!

Definitely great to get that close to the source! It’s in large part the complex and opaque supply chains in jewelry that make it so difficult. Did you go to Tucson?

It’s definitely not easy and there aren’t really perfect answers. My main focus is around gold as there are so many environmental and geopolitical issues tied to it! And the use of recycled gold is not the solution to the issues like I once thought. What does ethical sourcing mean for you for gems?

The home studio is almost ready! Can't wait to get in there and make some new things #handmadejewelry

I'd love to build a space here where we can discuss #sustainablejewelry topics - between jewelers but also for honest conversations with consumers. If you purchase jewelry - what do you want to know more about so you can ensure your purchases align with the kinds of businesses you want to support?

Yay! Glad to connect!

With you on this! I just moved and finishing setting up my studio at my new house this weekend - looking forward to sharing more!

Created a new feed today focused on #sustainablejewelry practices! Not an endorsement of anyone, but want to collect folks who are talking about responsibly made jewelry, including highlighting #fairmined certified gold. Give it a follow if responsible jewelry is ur thing! bsky.app/profile/did:...

As an ethical jeweler, I believe it is imperative to acknowledge the colonialist foundation the jewelry industry is built upon. We can't really have real, honest conversations about how to improve the jewelry industry without that acknowledgement. #finejewelry #sustainablejewelry #fairmined

Why I use #fairmined gold in my jewelry: it’s a certification that ensures the gold is mined responsibly with added benefits to the whole community near the mine! Our jewelry is often a symbol of love - it should do something positive for people and planet too! #jewelry #handmadejewelry #goldjewelry

Dainty and dangerous is an excellent combination 😆

The Lietuva necklace is inspired by forms common in traditional Lithuanian folk art. Hand fabricated in 18k #fairmined gold, featuring a Montana sapphire. My fine #jewelry business, Truss and Ore, focuses on responsible sourcing practices. I'm very passionate about #sustainability! #handmadejewelry

Inspired by my cultural heritage, the Lietuva ring design blends modern elegance with traditional folk art shapes and symbolism. Made in 18k #fairmined gold, featuring a Montana sapphire, my hand fabricated fine jewelry business focuses on responsible sourcing practices #handmadejewelry

Yes! I also always say jewelry has no gender! It's just pure self expression - wear whatever you like

I'm Ana and I make fine jewelry with primarily responsible artisanally mined materials like #fairmined gold! My design aesthetic is modern and often inspired by architecture and Bauhaus artists. #finejewelry

As a millennial, I’ve done Xanga, LiveJournal, MySpace, Tumblr, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Flickr, Vine, TikTok, Reddit, Pinterest, Clubhouse… oh and can’t forget we started off with making our own GeoCities websites 😂 why stop now? Let’s see what BlueSky has to offer! Maybe a Substack too?

First post here might as well be for a good cause! Grateful for a caring jeweler community who have come together to support folks impacted by the devastating fires in Los Angeles. You can get your raffle ticket here: ochreobjects.com/products/la-... #handmadejewelry #lafirerelief #jewelryraffle
