    Just checked out your website and I think you have a really beautiful collection of jewelry =) You are a welcome addition to Greenwala! Do you make all of the pieces yourself? How did you get into the fair trade jewelry business?

      Thanks so much Linda!! I do make everything myself, I enjoy playing with the little pieces!

      Surprisingly enough I have been using Fair Trade vermeil findings in my jewelry designs since I began back in 2003, I just didn't know they were Fair Trade at the time. Making a conscious decision to use ethical gemstones and other Fair Trade elements came to me as I decided to make more "green" friendly choices in my personal life, seemed only natural to do it in business as well.

      Thanks again, I appreciate you taking a look at my jewelry!
