SilverTrove

Every piece of SilverTrove jewelry is creatively designed and forged with love from partially recycled materials. In my studio, I follow strict environmental standards and recycle all possible materials and bi-products. I actively seek metals and materials that are responsibly sourced. I am concerned about the environmental and social impact of silver, gold and gemstone mining and I recycle the silver I work with but no metalsmith can be sure that all the metals they work with have been ethically obtained. I hope we will someday have verified source information on all suppliers of jewelry metals and gemstones with the help of organizations like Earthworks. I am an active member of Earthworks and I urge you to sign the "No Dirty Gold Pledge" because gold, silver and gemstones are all obtained from the same mines. Earthworks exposes plans to open mines that would pollute natural resources and destroy wildlife and habitat and they work hard to stop them. They also expose mines with unsafe working conditions, unfair wages and underage employees and have been very successful in stopping these unethical practices. Please go to http://www.earthworksaction.org/
where you will find more information including a link to the "No Dirty Gold Pledge". Their work is important because they expose unethical mining practices and are working to establish mining standards. Someday I hope all metalsmiths will know the source of the metals and gemstones they purchase.

My lifetime love of sterling silver, nature, music, fantasy and art have culminated to bring you the special collection of ever evolving jewelry, that is SilverTrove. Every piece is painstakingly created with love, polished to a high shine and hardened for durability.

These are pieces of art you will love wearing and pieces of jewelry that will last for many generations to come. The selection will vary and change frequently, based on changing styles, new metalsmithing techniques and design inspiration.

Custom orders are my specialty. Every piece of SilverTrove jewelry is covered by my service and repair policy for the lifetime of the piece. I also offer a 100% guarantee against defects in materials or workmanship for as long as you own the jewelry.
