Contribution


With a passion for conservation at my core, I see our jewelry as a vehicle to create environmental and societal change. Using ethically sourced materials and partnering with organizations that are committed to environmental and social responsibility, we intend to make beauty and contribution synonymous.
All of our jewelry is produced in fair trade environments where all are fairly compensated through financial, health and wellness benefits. We source many materials from the Balinese archipelago to reduce our carbon footprint.
"The heart of my creations is engagement with the natural world - connecting us to beauty at its purest level. My wish is that the relationship to nature, via sustainable mineral & metal will promote the awareness & compassion so deeply needed for our planet and its beings.“

The Elephant Project

The Elephant Project has developed new ideas and new solutions to address the threats to elephant survival, providing them a new future free of cruelty and death at the hands of humans.
It is with a strong passion for elephant protection and conservation that I designed a branded collection for The Elephant Project. Each piece of The Elephant Project branded collection is designed to honor the beauty of the elephant while supporting the dynamic age-old tradition of the jewelry making.
