Necklaces Bracelets Earrings Sets Silver Recycles! Terrie now only uses sterling silver wire that has been 100% recyled from the Earth’s existing metal supply. This means she does not buy silver direct from mining companies. She buys it from a refiner, which means most of the silver is from scrap metal purchased from jewelers. The remainder of the supply comes from other refineries that also recycle scrap metal. We feel GREAT about that and you can too! As a former naturalist and lifelong lover of the earth, she has found a way to lessen the impact on the evnironment.		Why Natural Gemstones? It is amazing what colors, designs and textures can be dug from the earth. Jaspers, agates, turquoise etc. are extremely varied. Rhonda and I are always amazed at the diversity of gemstones. Also natural gemstones give us a connection to the earth and remind us that all life is interconnected. We always select the highest quality gemstones possible.
