Our materials are sourced as sustainably as we possibly can, focusing on recycled materials to reduce our role in today's commercial mining practices, and also on fair trade materials that provide positive impact to responsible mining communities from around the globe. Our jewelry strives to support an entire chain of people, with careful sourcing, planning, and learning — a complex process we work on every day.

Tacoma's Treasured Halloween Tradition. On October 31st, for almost 100 years, Tacomans have come together on the streets of Proctor. A trick-or-treating parade of ghosts, goblins, giggles and gore.
