Packaging

We are committed to sustainability and providing you with a beautiful unboxing experience. Every shipment we make is carbon neutral and we are a proud member of the noissue Eco-Alliance community, so our packaging is as sustainable as it gets.

Our pouches are made by hand, in house, using cotton ribbon and organic wool felt. Wool felt is the perfect material for jewelry storage given its softness, durability, breathability, and water-resistance (and, unlike the microfiber commonly used in jewelry pouches, it is biodegradable). Please refer to the chart below to learn what everything is made from and exactly how to handle it:

We take great pride in our packaging and the packing of our jewelry, with the intention that every order is gift-worthy as-is, to yourself or others.  While we do not provide gift boxes or wrapping paper per se, our pouches are substantial enough to be wrapped by reusing our tissue paper, should you wish to do so. Our packing slips don't include prices. We would be happy to include a gift message for you – just leave us a note at checkout.

Unless otherwise indicated at checkout, jewelry pieces will be consolidated whenever possible to avoid excess packaging.  Please keep this in mind if you are purchasing gifts for more than one recipient within the same order and be sure to request separate pouches for each item, if needed.
