5 Ways to Stay Sustainable this Valentines Day

When you buy from a small business, a real person throws a little party, complete with confetti and maybe even party hats, because you chose them over a big box store. That’s not one of the 5 reasons… but it’s a bonus 😉

Valentines is coming, and if you’re bored of supermarket flowers, you will win points with the better half with my curated collection of hand-restored, vintage fine gold and silver jewelry!

Sustainably sourced,

thoughtfully restored jewelry.

I have several heart-shaped pendants in both Sterling and 14k and 18k Gold (some Tiffany!) which you can simply add on to any of your favorite chains. I like to make my own personalized charm necklaces by mixing and matching my pendants on the same chain! Be sure to check out my large charm collection!

5 reasons to stay Sustainable this Valentines Day

Whether you’re celebrating Galentines, Valentines or Palentines this year…

Skip the Hallmark Hangover: Nothing says "I love you" like supporting your local community and artists. Opt for local artisans or small businesses who can weave your love story into their handmade gifts. Bonus points if you can include a slight air of bewilderment, like, “Who knew this heart-shaped mug could single-handedly save the world?”
Eco-Tonic Love: Buying sustainably means less waste and fewer sad, wilting flowers thrown in landfill. Choose potted plants or low-waste goodies that keep giving long after February 14th.
Get Creative (and Crafty): When you shop independent, each gift tells a story - often involving more heart than a Hallmark movie. Instead of pre-packaged chocolates, why not bake your own? Sure, the kitchen might look like a flour bomb exploded, but those burned cookies will remind your partner you're “a work in progress - just like love.”
Unique presents scream love: Skip the gift that everyone else will have on the shelf - seriously, your partner doesn’t need something everybody else has... My jewelry has history - each piece is unique with its own stories to tell!
You’ll be a hero: Not only will you sweep them off their feet, but you’ll also be able to put on your eco-warrior cape. Nothing says "You're my Valentine" better than your own thoughtful choices.

I’ve always been a sucker for beautiful cocktail rings and bracelets. On my hands I have 2 Tiffany bracelets which are my stand out choices (the basket weave and mesh ones) which are my favorites. Vintage Tiffany is hard to come by and they are in such great condition. The other bracelets have very high quality precious gemstones, from diamonds to sapphires, and rubies to emeralds!

All my pieces have been appraised by a local gemologist and ultrasonically cleaned. I only pick the best vintage pieces to showcase and they’re all of the highest grade.

I have a few Paloama Picasso pieces from Tiffany including this XXXOOO brooch. These are collectors items, especially her collaboration with Tiffany, so it’s hard to come by such exquisitely restored treasures!

This necklace I have on is a Vintage Double Chain Necklace has a tiny seed pearl at the centre of its heart. This piece is truly vintage and a really special find!
