I’m passionate about creating timeless, high quality, eco-friendly jewelry that you will cherish and feel good about wearing in an, ‘I helped the planet by looking great’ sorta way. Each design is made using sterling silver &amp; recycled beads, and I personally do all the silversmithing in my Gastown, Vancouver, B.C. studio.</p> <p>My exclusive <a href="http://ecocessories.ca/pages/recycle">jewelry recycling service</a> is my source for recycled beads and vintage components. I love finding inspiration from your old, broken, or unwanted jewelry; if you haven’t yet used my service, start cleansing your cluttered jewelry box now!</p> <p>I love what I do and am a unique hybrid of an artist/business woman. After graduating with my <span class="caps">BBA</span> from Wilfrid Laurier’s School of Business, I moved to the West Coast to get back in touch with my creative roots and discover the mountains. When I’m not designing jewelry, I’m either snowboarding, knitting, or cooking delicious organic meals with my fiancé.</p> <p>I’d love to connect with you – follow me on <a href="http://twitter.com/ecocessories">Twitter</a>, fan me on <a href="http://ecocessories.ca/facebook">Facebook</a>, or <a href="http://feedburner.google.com/fb/a/mailverify?uri=ecocessories&loc=en_US">subscribe to my blog</a>.
