The time has come for us all to live more consciously. A time for fashion to be purposeful and "green" as well as beautiful and stylish.

This time brings with it a collective opportunity for artisans to create beautiful treasures in a manner in which allows us to honor the environmental as well as the spiritual aspects of our components.

All jewelry is a diverse combination of raw material, each with it's own intrinsic properties. We must begin to look at our raw material in a new and brilliant light.

The building blocks of raw materials encompass gems, metals, stones, textiles, clay, plastic, crystal, glass and natural materials. These blocks are created by nature, by man, by machine and by hand, most all with the assistance of the five elements.

The raw materials and their by products become either usable products, a source of waste or additional raw material; by repurposing the initial product. We believe that all materials can be purposed and repurposed to become useful building blocks in jewelry fashion.

New, vintage, natural, scrap, glass, artisan created and uncommon jewelry component are all "raw materials" to us here at Shimmerlings. We salvage, repair, deconstruction, combine, subtract, embellish and create from all materials that we discover. We use materials from the past and the present to create treasure for the future.

This is the age of Aquarius, the green way, the path of a particular creation process that heals rather than harms our world...this is the way of our future. We hope you will take the journey with us!
