Our jewelry is delivered in sustainable packaging made from bio-foam. Created from ingredients sourced from the earth such as (potato) starch, cellulose fibers, and organic binder. These packages reduce the carbon footprint by up to 90% and are therefore 100% biodegradable. The production of these packages requires little water and energy and can be industrially composted. The material is bio-based and non-toxic.
