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.
