These are the pieces I can't stop wearing — and can't stop gifting. Founder's Favorites is my personal, ever-evolving edit of the most loved pieces across our entire collection: the handmade jewelry that draws the most compliments, the accessories that feel like the perfect gift every time, the artisan pieces with genuine staying power in both style and story.
I've spent years exploring the world's artisan communities as a Chicago-based ethical jewelry curator — from the Maasai beadwork studios of Tanzania to the jewelry ateliers of Porto, the resident artists of Mexico City to the women's cooperatives of Uganda. These favorites reflect everything I believe in: extraordinary craft, sustainable materials, fair trade practices, and the kind of beauty that comes from knowing exactly who made your piece and why it matters.
Whether you're shopping for yourself or looking for the most thoughtful sustainable gift imaginable, start here. These are the pieces that started it all.
