The new Chain Collection will be featured at one final event before the holidays - D&H Sustainable Jewelers! I couldn't think of a better place to be - as they represent three of my favorite things... sustainability, ethical jewelry and local wine!

 

I feel really honored to be a part of their selective list of luxury, artisan jewelers whose core values of style and sustainability mesh with my own. Their commitment to local and ethically sourced jewelry is refreshing.

"We do not want to reduce the viability of luxury products by selling things that hurt our environment today. The resources and technology exist today to allow customers to have a green choice. By creating transparency in our "traditional" industry, we can all feel good about what we are buying and selling. We believe that sustainability must take into account all of these aspects: social, environmental, cultural, and economic. You have to do this on a local level."  Shawn Higgins and Lindsay Daunell, owners of D&H.
