Jewelry Design Panel: Design with a Difference
As an independent designer and brand, I'm proud to be part of the vanguard driving change in the jewelry industry. We, the small brands, have been the catalysts for transformation, setting the standard for responsible and ethical practices that the big corporations are now embracing. Our passion and resilience have shown that commitment to people and the planet can coexist with growth and profit. As we continue to push boundaries and raise the bar, we inspire suppliers and manufacturers to follow suit, creating a ripple effect that resonates throughout the entire industry. I believe it's our responsibility to keep pushing the needle, share our dedication to conscious practices with the world, and inspire others to do the same. I'm excited to share my perspective on the panel and explore ways we can collectively shape a more responsible and sustainable future for jewelry.
