Studio Practice
Metal
Every gram of silver used in Wild & Sapphire jewellery is 100% recycled - from wire to chain to the solder itself.
Gold is only available on commission currently but will hopefully feature regularly in the future.
I don't offer filled or plated metal including vermeil for longevity and environmental reasons. I also do not work with metal clay.
Stone
It's super important to me that my gemstones are sourced responsibly, and a lot of my energy has been spent over the years finding routes I am completely happy with.
As a result, all of the stones used in Wild & Sapphire jewellery are either traceable to the mining site, reclaimed or lab created.
Making
Wild & Sapphire jewellery is made by hand.
Start to finish, one piece at a time.
Although mass production options are increasingly accessible (and common) in the handmade industry these days, keeping things small & artisanal is an intentional choice.
It keeps my work unique, gives it soul, and drives me to be a better silversmith.
Handmade is where my heart lies, so this the right road for Wild & Sapphire.
