We are committed to being thoughtful about our impact on everything around us- people, places, animals. So when we think of sustainability, we’re thinking about the materials that we use as well as the ways that we invest in our communities.

As queer artists committed to collective liberation, anti-racist action, and social justice, we’re always thinking about the materials that we use as well as the ways that we invest in our communities.

We regularly donate our work to auctions and fundraisers for amazing community groups including Black QT Fund, Transgender Gender-variant and Intersex Justice Project (TGIJP), Critical Resistance, Bay Area Girls Rock Camp, Peacock Rebellion, and Middle East Children’s Alliance. These groups are literally changing the world, and we love being able to support their powerful work through donations, uplifting them on social media, and other collaborative efforts.

Our unique look is grounded in this commitment to sustainability and interconnectedness. We primarily work with recycled raw or vintage brass because it allows us to create affordable, long-lasting jewelry that can be polished with nontoxic household items such as ketchup.

We use recycled and upcycled packaging whenever possible – our mailing boxes are unbleached 100% postconsumer and padding is shredded junk mail. And we’ve managed to score enough repurposed, clean bubble wrap that we’ve never had to buy any in our many years of operation!  “Gift wrap” is done with reusable cotton pouches in cute patterns. Of course, this is all a work in process and we are always looking for ways to increase our impact and reduce our footprint.
