The Green Fuse jewelry with compassion and style

As we become more aware of the impact our purchase decisions make on our environment, our world, and the people we share it with, more of us are moved by the desire to ensure that our spending reflects our values.

What you get (and what you don't) from Green Fuse:

§ nobody had to die for the sake of pretty: no leather, pearl, bone, horn, antler, coral, silk, ivory, tusk, mother of pearl, or tooth in any of my creations

j§ my sterling wire is recycled and my wirework is original and all done by hand by me: no gizmos, no jigs

§ all imported components are original (no knockoffs) and either fair trade certified or of western origin

j§ NEW: beginning in 2008, all new gemstones I purchase will be either lab grown, reclaimed, vintage/recycled, or collected and cut by hand by artisan rock collectors in the US. No commercially mined stones, no factory cut beads!

§ my metalwork is 100% salvaged autobody steel

I care about every piece I create. More than just a hand-crafted alternative to Mass-Mart sweat-shop piles of stuff, I want my work to celebrate both humanity and nature without compromising either. I know you do too.
