We’ve always been striving to find the best way to package our jewelry – looking for the best ‘ingredients’ in a balance of functionality, beauty, simplicity and sustainability. We knew that by reducing our use of paper and by using paper made with postconsumer recycled fiber, we consume less of the Earth’s forests – which was a good start. We also believe that paper should not be made with virgin wood fiber taken from trees harvested in endangered forests, and that it should be certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC). Between sourcing materials and finding a green manufacturer there were a few hiccups along the way, but we’re happy with where we’re at now.

1. The boxes are made using 70% post consumer recycled fiber, 30% FSC certified fiber.
2. The paper for the boxes is made carbon neutral and manufactured with 100% renewable green energy.
3. The inner wrapping is handmade from sustainably produced, recycled mulberry leaves.
4. In our goal to minimize the consumption of resources (wood, water, chemicals and energy), we carefully selected and work with forward looking suppliers and printers who are open and proactive, and who are progressive considering the entire life cycle of paper and printing method.
