Major brands and retailers have shifted to match demand in the growing sustainable jewelry movement by securing green supply chains and reusing stones and metals sourced from old or broken pieces.
On Cincinnati Edition, we learn how the jewelry industry has transitioned — globally and locally — to create beautiful and eco-friendly one-of-a-kind pieces.
Guests:
- Lauren Darrouzet, visiting assistant professor of art, metals and 3D fabrication at Earlham College
- Ellana Hagedorn, owner and lead designer, Lane & Kate
