Sustainability

Sustainability is at the heart of this small business! I do so by ensuring that all of my packaging and shipping supplies are as ethically sourced and environmentally friendly as possible, in an effort to protect the Earth and her beautiful creations (that includes you!) <3 

Every component of your order was packaged and shipped using 100% recycled, recyclable, reusable, and/or biodegradable materials. Here is a breakdown: 

Bubble Mailers - My bubble mailers are non-toxic, plastic-free, and 100% compostable - made from corn and plant starch-based materials, your mailer will fully biodegrade in 180 days when placed in a composting environment (i.e. curbside composting bins or home composting gardens)! If you are unable to compost your bubble mailer, rest assured that it will still eventually biodegrade, even if it ends up in a landfill! 

Shipping Labels - My shipping labels are 100% compostable and made using 100% recycled post-consumer waste paper with a non-toxic adhesive! You do not need to remove your shipping labels from your bubble mailers or your shipping boxes before composting or recycling! 

Jewelry and Shipping Boxes - My jewelry and shipping boxes are both non-toxic, plastic-free, and made using 100% recycled materials and 90% post-consumer waste that has been diverted from landfills! Please either reuse or recycle your jewelry and/or shipping boxes after use. 

Algae Ink - I strictly use algae ink to stamp the logo onto my jewelry boxes, which is made using algae cells for a cleaner and safer alternative to chemical inks! Algae ink is carbon-negative, which means it aids in the removal of harmful carbon from the air we breathe, just like trees! 

Necklace/Earring Cards, & Washi-Tape - Please either compost or recycle! 

Shredded Packing Paper & Tissue Paper - Please either reuse, compost, or recycle! 

Thank You/Jewelry Care Cards - Please recycle after use! 

Anti-Tarnish Strip - Please reuse your anti-tarnish strip by placing it in an airtight bag, pouch, or jewelry box to help prevent your jewelry from tarnishing! Anti-tarnish strips typically have a 12-14 month shelf life. When you’re ready to dispose of your anti-tarnish strip, please recycle! 

Polishing Cloth - Your polishing cloth is intended to be reused. Consider storing your polishing cloth in the same place as your jewelry to help remind you to clean your jewelry as often as possible! 

Jewelry Pouch - Your jewelry pouch is intended to be reused as a place to store and protect your jewelry. These pouches are also great for traveling!
