- Glass: Certain colors are made from recycled liquor bottles, while other Sundrop colors are made from stained art glass.
- Sterling Silver: All sterling silver wire we use is 100% recycled. We have not yet been able to find a source for recycled silver ear wires or recycled necklace chains. [Update: now we have!]
- Paper: Jewelry cards are printed on 100% recycled paper with soy-based ink, our shipping boxes contain significant recycled content, and our office paper is 100% recycled. [Update: shipping materials are now 100% recycled too!]
