My jewelry is as sustainable as I can make it at the moment. I use fairmined gold and recycled sterling silver. The gemstones I purchase are from reputable dealers and when possible, I ask them to provide the original source. Sadly, this is not always possible.

The chain that I use is made in the United States by the oldest family-run chain manufacturer in the country. It is not recycled, but it is local.

Jane Bartel Jewelry supports the "Heal The Bay" foundation with a monthly donation. Heal The Bay supports the health of the Santa Monica Bay in California, which is where I grew up, going to the beach every summer. I love the ocean very much.
