Sustainability and supporting other US businesses are top priorities for Laurie Lynn in the making of
Beryllina jewelry.
Laurie Lynn's efforts to be green include:
-
using only recycled silver, gold, palladium and platinum
-
using only all natural, untreated gemstones and minerals mined in the USA
-
-
-
using 100% recycled jewelry boxes made in the USA
-
packaging jewelry with 100% recycled tissue paper and 100% recycled crinkle filler, both made in the USA
- using jewelry cards handcrafted locally with 100% recycled cardstock
- having business cards made with 100% recycled cardstock, and encouraging folks to use their phone to photograph the card rather than take one with them
-
using recycled boxes and vintage upcycled display pieces for display at shows, instead of using imported plastic display pieces
- handcrafting banners with cotton rather than purchasing printed vinyl banners
-
using low-energy LED lightbulbs to light the jewelry studio and display cases
-
recycling plastic, paper, and glass from the studio
-
collecting all metal scraps and dust from the jewelry fabrication process and sending them into the refiner to be turned into new, recycled, usable raw materials for jewelry making
