WHO WE ARE

Our conscious collection of fine jewelry is designed to be treasured and to last. Using responsibly-sourced precious metals and stones wherever available, we are committed to the creation of exquisite products through cutting-edge environmental and socially-responsible business practices. We seek to redefine what 'precious' means and to create heirloom pieces that are unique to the wearer, instead of contributing to a culture of disposable fashion. We believe buyers and designers alike must empower themselves with knowledge to make responsible decisions.

Our Mission

We educate and inspire people to invest in timeless jewelry that will help build a cleaner, healthier planet. This reverence to our natural world, and the zero-waste philosophy it embodies, is the driving tenet behind our company, team of artisans, and all of our designs.

Our Founder + Our Artisans

Meet Melissa

We’re a community of skilled artisans, dedicated to supporting domestic, handmade production that eliminates the carbon imprint and heavy waste from machine-made, imported jewelry. We value each one of our metalsmiths and support them even after they’ve left our studio through our Sprig Collective, a showcase of designs by former team members, using the tools and tenets they’ve learned with us.

Our Gold Standard

1. Fine Heirloom Jewelry

We design jewelry to be treasured and to last.

Our jewelry is talismanic, reflecting the wearer’s individuality and spirit. Each piece tells a meaningful story and is designed with the purpose of becoming an heirloom, unique to the wearer.

2. Handmade + Local

We craft every piece by hand in our Green-certified CA studio.

Our jewelry is handmade in California using time-honored techniques. Crafting each piece by hand imbues our creations with a sense of spiritual energy that cannot be replicated in mass market production, and increases the demand for artisan job opportunities in our own community.

3. Ethical Responsibility

We love and protect our planet.

We are founded on the belief that fashion and sustainability can live harmoniously. Nature inspires our designs, and we practice stewardship to protect and honor it. Our jewelry is made with 100% recycled metals, sourced from a refinery with the highest environmental standards.
