Where are the best ethical sources for gemstone jewelry?
These days a huge source of ethical diamonds and gemstones are lab grown stones which are chemically identical to their natural counterparts. Brilliant Earth is one well known company who produces lab grown stones. Lab grown stones are also usually more cost effective than a natural stone.
There are countless companies and jewelers who claim to source 'ethically' mined natural gemstones, but it is very difficult to guarantee that a stone you are interested in purchasing is 100% ethically derived from the time it is actually mined to the time it is cut and processed into it's final result and mounted into jewelry.
Personally, if I were in the market for gemstone or diamond jewelry I would select a lab grown stone or an antique, vintage or heirloom piece vs. a 'brand new' piece from a jeweler.

I made this using a broken Mangal Sutra pendant. Usually I'm a perfectionist and wouldn't use this pendant because I can't break the other side to match the asymmetrical side. I spent money on it though and you can only tell close up.

The Flowing Water necklace:
As with all of my creations so far, this one was created as part of my mindfulness meditation practice with recycled wire excavated from an old collapsed motor court motel. My focus with this one was the simple idea of flowing water and a design that would work well for a summer, beach or lake look. There was also a bit of humerous mindfulness of Bruce Lee saying "Be water."
The only design constraint besides the anatomical limits of the wearer was the use of golden ratios in the curves. The incorporation of the rhinestone chain as a closure was actually a Bob Ross style happy little accident. The wire in the original prototype was too short for a collar design and I had to improvise a closure. I was happy enough with the results that I chose to keep the design.
I hope you enjoy it as much as enjoyed designing and crafting it.
