Why Sustainability Matters at Reel AK Jewelry
At Reel AK Jewelry, sustainability isn't just a buzzword—it's at the heart of everything we do. Colleen, our founder, is deeply committed to eco-friendly practices, and this passion shines through in every piece of jewelry we create.
Inspired by her husband’s family fishing traditions, Colleen sources materials ethically, ensuring that every element we use is chosen with care. We take fish scales that would otherwise be thrown away and turn them into beautiful, handcrafted jewelry. This not only reduces waste but also gives a second life to materials that hold a special place in Alaskan culture.
But our commitment to sustainability goes beyond just the materials. For every pair of earrings sold, we donate $1 to Cook Inletkeeper. This fantastic nonprofit is all about protecting Alaska’s Cook Inlet watershed. They combine advocacy, education, and science to keep this vital area vibrant and healthy. Their work helps ensure that our waters and wildlife remain in top shape for years to come.
By supporting Cook Inletkeeper, we’re helping to maintain the natural beauty that inspires our designs. We believe that being environmentally conscious is crucial, not just for our business but for the planet as a whole. It’s a way for us to give back to the community and the environment that means so much to us.
At Reel AK Jewelry, every piece of jewelry tells a story of sustainability and respect for nature. When you wear our creations, you’re not just showcasing Alaskan beauty; you’re also supporting a movement that values our planet. Thank you for being a part of this journey with us!
