Hovey Lee is dedicated to promoting fair trade, human dignity and environmental sustainability before profits. Their designs are sourced from gemstone suppliers that adhere to Fair Trade sourcing standards. These standards ensure that these gifts from nature are brought to the customer in a safe, socially and environmentally responsible way that cares not only for the materials but the people who are involved in the process. Besides sourcing new gemstones, Hovey Lee's Los Angeles studio continues to use components extracted from vintage jewelries and recreate new designs with reclaimed and recycled findings and gemstones.
Wherever possible, Hovey Lee uses metals from renewed sources derived from recycled jewelry or reclaimed metal companies. By using renewed metals, their goal is to reduce the need for additional mining of precious metals that could be very harmful to our environment. By supporting the No Dirty Gold campaign's Golden Rules, Hovey Lee hopes to reflect the values of their customers around the country who have a deep commitment to human rights and the environment.
As artisan jewelry maker, Hovey Lee use both classic and modern wiring, beading, and metalsmithing techniques to create jewelry that features the beauty of the materials used. A wide variety of textures, patinas and finishing techniques are used to bring the pieces to life. Semi-precious stones, natural and sometimes man-made materials accent and compliment the designs.
