Ethos
At the heart of our ethos lies a profound belief in the undeniable interconnectedness of all life. This intrinsic connection serves as our guiding light, shaping every choice, interaction, and design we undertake. We see ourselves as conduits for creativity, responsibility, and reciprocity — and we aim to create both experiences and jewelry that is generative for all beings.

Business not as usual
From top to bottom, we are reinventing what it means to be in business. We adore this handy outline of some key feminist principles from Jennifer Armbrust of Sister, based on the work of bell hooks and Sister Coretta Kent among others.
This framework has served us over and over by reminding us of how to stay true to ourselves as we navigate late-stage capitalism with a different set of values based on community, wholeness, abundance, and reciprocity. Plus, it's so fun to buck the transactional nature of most shopping experiences and morph it into lasting relationships and connection.

Reuse of Materials
When possible, we prefer to reuse materials rather than mine or lab-create, that's why we love antique diamonds and run a Heirloom Redesign program for clients who want to remake their own materials anew.

Transcending Trend
We encourage our clients to see their jewelry as generational pieces packed intention and meaning, slowing down the rate of consumption by focusing on connection rather than collecting.
