Take care of business first. No matter what industry you are in, if you are not focusing on supporting the day to day business functions…
Founder Mariana Russo Chambers doesn't just make beautiful things, she also prioritizes ethical processes (using recycled gold and gemstones, cutting down on waste in design), activism (her "boobs" necklace will give back to BCA charities in October and using code VOTE2020 on the mini name necklace gives back to Hunger Free 2020) and women-led design.
I really am obsessed with anything that has my name or initials on it and I'm also obsessed with having things custom made. Cut + Clarity does both. The mini name necklace is the just right for someone who may not wear a ton of jewelry because it's so delicate and fine. It's also great for someone who loves to accessorize and layer their jewelry. It's the definition of personal jewelry and basically the finer version of a name plate!
We emphasize creating sustainable jewelry with recycled metals and ethical stones and also focus on sustaining our local community. We produce everything locally in the NYC Diamond District. We are creating an apprenticeship program not only to reinvigorate our workforce but as a way to break with the gender disparity in our industry. Our apprenticeship program will put underserved women of color at the helm of meaningful, beautiful, and safe work making jewelry.
