An average pair of wedding bands from non-recycled metal results in tons of waste. If the couple were to put the tailings in their bedroom, they would measure six feet wide, six feet high and ten feet long!
Every single ring on this site is either made from recycled precious metal or fair trade precious metal. In our studio, we have state of the art ventilation systems on all our soldering stations – each individually controlled by our jewelers in order to conserve energy. We also have many safety features in place.
We also use non-harmful chemicals and solders as much as we can in the day to day manufacturing of our jewelry. We dehydrate and filter our waste fluids from our fabrication processes. We pay a premium to purchase "green power" from Public Service of New Mexico. We also offset our carbon use by contributing to Wild Earth Guardians, a New Mexico environmental organization that does ecological restoration of creeks and rivers. We recycle our metals, cardboard, cans and glass. We use 100% recycled office paper and toilet paper.
We use compact fluorescent lighting everywhere except our gallery. Green areas are also an important element in environmentally stewardship. In front of our office we removed a ten by thirty by ten inches foot monolithic concrete slab and planted a xeroscape garden. We constructed a small central courtyard and garden where we enjoy gathering for lunch and break times. We have invested a great deal in making our working space beautiful for all of us to enjoy.
Our studio, which we remodeled in 2001, is light, colorful and full of art. We are constantly looking for opportunities to create a more comfortable workplace and less environmental impact.

Hi, I got my Lotus earrings today; they are so pretty. I just love your jewelry! I get compliments almost every time I wear your earrings – I have 4 pair now. My sister and I gave each other your earrings for Christmas – we thought that was funny (we both have good taste). I’ve also been enjoying your new newsletter. Thanks for beautiful things.

I recently had successful surgeries and received my ring, pendant and earrings the day before I left. I felt so lucky that you processed my order so fast. Thank you so much, and I love everything! Thank you!

I just wanted to thank Reflective Images for the lovely pendants I purchased. I received my Dawn pendant with blue moonstone, and Shadow Box pendant a few days ago. I’ve worn each pendant once, and have already received several compliments. Everyone who helped me was a pleasure to deal with, and I really appreciate the extra effort you made to meet my request for blue moonstone. I look forward to purchasing more pieces in the future, and hope to visit your showroom again soon.

I just wanted to send you a quick thank you for how wonderfully you handled my repair. I’m thrilled to have my bracelet back, and it looks beautiful. I very much appreciate the extra effort in cleaning it up and in your professionalism in handling the issue. I will most certainly continue shopping at Reflective Imagery, and I will be telling my friends and family about my wonderful experience.

I recently ordered a borderless Flores ring with a 2.5 mm blue Zircon set into it – and I absolutely love it! Thanks to whomever forged it…and to Helen for the beautiful design. I will definitely be recommending your company to others.

Just to let you know we have received the bracelet, it is great and we’re very happy with it. Thank you for your excellent service!

I am usually pretty cautious & hesitate when ordering anything “online”, so to have something this special to us be as easy as it was to order and then have it delivered pretty much “on the estimated due date”, well, you have a return customer in us. There are so many companies out there who don’t take care of their customers or present their products with such presentation and class, that I find it very satisfying that your company honors “the old way” of doing business. Keith saw the rings last night and his first words were “WOW! Their so much more awesome in person than what we saw online

Oh wow, you really did it this time! I had no idea you were working with my husband on the bracelet, necklace, and earrings – they are all fabulous. Your designs are timeless, I will enjoy them for many years, thank you so much for helping Santa surprise me!

Have ordered several things and have gotten nice comments on each piece when I wear it. Truly love my portal bracelet – first purchase and the quality is outstanding. I wear it every day.
--J. Daniels
I love the unique designs, that they are made from recycled metals and conflict free gems. I wear at least three or four pieces a day (earrings, bracelets, necklace) and always gets compliments on the beauty and uniqueness of them. Plus, they go nicely with my celtic tattoos
