I usually start packing your order with a mellow playlist (indie folk, if you're curious) a fresh cup of coffee, and one last polish of your jewelry before saying goodbye.

Each piece is tucked into its recycled paper box and wrapped in compostable tissue before sealing it shut with a old-world style wax seal. I scatter a few lavender buds into the molten swirl—their scent blooms the instant wax meets flower. Sometimes I pause, close my eyes, and imagine the moment you lift that same seal at home. Will a whisper of lavender greet you, too? I hope so. That gentle aroma is my special way of saying, “This was wrapped just for you.”

When you choose to bring home one of my heirlooms, you’re choosing more than handmade jewelry, you’re embracing a slower, sweeter rhythm where eco-friendly jewelry packaging, carbon-neutral shipping, and a tiny burst of lavender scent intertwine to create a truly unique experience.

Why Sustainable Packaging Matters

As an artist and nature lover, sustainability weaves through every part of my life. From sourcing recycled sterling silver and genuine gemstones to mindfully packing your order, every choice is intentional. Your jewelry deserves a journey home that reflects your own eco-conscious values. Together, we create a more mindful world, one beautiful detail at a time.

What Makes Your Order Sustainable?

I thoughtfully selected each component of my packaging, not only to keep your jewelry safe on its journey home but also to honor our shared commitment to sustainability.

Here’s exactly what you’ll find inside—and why:

Shipping Boxes

Made in the USA, these sturdy boxes contain fibers made from 100% recycled content, with at least 95% post-consumer waste diverted from landfills. They’re accepted in most curbside recycling programs and fully biodegradable.

A Cushy Nest

No bubble wrap here. Premium-quality tissue gently lines each box which is then filled with kraft paper crinkle fill. It’s completely recyclable and offers exceptional cushioning—keeping your jewelry secure without environmental compromise.

Reusable Jewelry Boxes & Cotton Pouches

Each piece arrives tucked carefully into either:

• A natural cotton pouch, ideal for storing your jewelry long-term

• A jewelry gift box made from 100% recycled paper, containing at least 90% post-consumer material. Each box includes a soft, tarnish-resistant poly-fill pad to gently cradle your jewelry.

Jewelry Cards

Anytime your jewelry comes attached to a card, it's crafted from 100% tree-free recycled cotton linters (the soft, fluffy fibers found around cotton seeds.) This natural paper is fully recyclable, requires no chemical bleaching, and has a crisp yet soft texture. 

Plantable Wildflower Seed Thank-You & Care Cards

These thoughtful cards serve more than one purpose. You'll find a personalized handwritten thank-you note on one side and jewelry-care instructions on the other. Each card is handmade in the USA from 100% post-consumer recycled seed paper, printed with water-soluble eco-friendly inks. Embedded with a special wildflower mix of annual and perennial seeds, these cards will flourish beautifully in any region of the continental United States.

Plant-Based Wax Seal with Lavender Buds

After everything is lovingly tucked inside, I gather the tissue together and seal it with a traditional plant-based wax embossed with a sweet hummingbird design stamp. Each seal is gently sprinkled with real dried lavender buds, releasing a subtle calming fragrance. The wax is completely biodegradable, paraffin-free, and plastic-free—crafted from beeswax and natural resins that are safer for you and kinder to the environment.

Eco-Friendly Packaging Tape

Simple, durable kraft tape seals the deal. Made from renewable raw materials and free from plastic fibers. Made in the USA with a transparent supply chain, it further reduces your order’s environmental footprint.

Of Course, Pre-Loved Mailers When Available

Whenever possible, your order may arrive in a previously loved shipping box or mailer. A small reminder that giving packaging a second life is a meaningful way to reduce waste.

Together, these thoughtful materials ensure your jewelry arrives safe and sound, beautifully wrapped, and aligned with our shared dedication to sustainability and mindful living.

Carbon-Neutral Shipping: Your Jewelry’s Sustainable Journey

I believe the journey your jewelry takes to reach your hands should reflect the mindful values used to create it. That’s why every order from my studio ships via carbon-neutral delivery.

Here’s exactly what that means for you and the planet:

• Lower Impact Packaging:
  Thoughtfully sized shipping boxes made of recycled materials significantly reduce weight and packaging waste, lowering carbon emissions from transportation.

• Verified Carbon Offsets:
  I donate a portion of my revenue from each order to help fund verified environmental projects, including forest protection and renewable energy initiatives.

• Transparent Tracking:
  Follow your jewelry’s journey with peace of mind (yes, I refresh the tracking link too, can’t help it!) You’ll receive tracking information showing your order’s route, knowing each mile traveled has been thoughtfully offset.

Close the Circle: Simple Ways to Keep Sustainability Going

Your mindful shopping doesn’t have to stop once your jewelry arrives. Here’s how you can easily extend its eco-friendly journey:

• Reuse the Gift Box:
  Keep your recycled-paper box as a small treasure chest for pressed flowers, photos, or sentimental notes.
  

• Repurpose Your Packaging:
  The tissue paper and crinkle fill are perfect for your next gift wrapping or craft project.

• Recycle with Ease:
  Your shipping boxes, crinkle paper fill, tissue paper, and jewelry cards can all be conveniently recycled curbside.

• Plant Something Beautiful:
  Don’t forget to plant your wildflower seed card! Pollinators like hummingbirds and butterflies might pay you a visit.
  

• Make a Keepsake Magnet:
  Your lavender-infused wax seal can become a sweet keepsake. Add a dab of glue, attach a magnet, and display it on your fridge as a little memento.

Together, these small actions add up. With each thoughtful choice, we cultivate a kinder, more sustainable world.

By choosing my handmade jewelry, you're actively participating in a responsible approach to shopping—where eco-friendly packaging and carbon-neutral shipping are fundamental to your experience.
