I stopped supporting big name brands for quite a while now. I realized that my heart lies in social enterprises and small artisanal brands. One such example is Borealis Crystals. This husband and wife duo runs a jewelry store that produces fine sparklers in precious metals. I am particularly fond of their 10k rose gold rings. They are also PWD-run, and their online business model keeps prices affordable. It’s definitely a win-win, as I get reasonably-priced artisanal jewelry and help out a PWD family at the same time.
Here are two of my rings from their shop. They also curate their own gemstones and use the finest metals. I’ve used my Borealis Crystals at the beach and in hot springs, and I can definitely say that their 10k rose gold has withstood these elements. Their rings also feature comfort band fit, which is a Godsend for me as I knit and crochet.
I hope that you will also check this brand out for your jewelry needs. Support local, and shop small today!
