FAIR TRADE
I am currently working on determining the fair trade status of each and every item I use to create jewelry. I feel strongly that people around the world should be fairly reimbursed for their labor. This includes the people who work to craft stone beads and cabochons, metal wire and other components used in jewelry design.
The Swarovski Crystal and Pearls used in my jewelry are made by workers who are fairly compensated for their work. The country of origin for Swarovski products is Austria.
The sheet metal and wire I use are made in the United States. No child labor or unfair labor practices were involved in their manufacture.
I will update this page with further information on stones and beads as I acquire it. If any of the materials I use are found to be from non-fair trade sources, they will be pulled and the items in which they are used will be discontinued immediately.
Thank you for supporting Fair Trade for jewelry! Please take some time to look into other important Fair Trade information on:
