Ben told us all about how he’s developed a technique for making recycled, sustainable, environmentally-friendly jewellery. Yes recycled jewellery not remodelling second hand jewellery, but actually turning waste metals into brand new jewellery.
Ben has always had a great concern for our environment. However, he started out as a traditional jeweller, then some years ago, whilst living in England, felt that there must be a more environmentally friendly and sustainable way to produce jewellery.
Today he is now able to combine his love of, and concern for, nature, with his talents as the maker of fine jewellery.
In today’s interview you’ll hear Ben sharing how his techniques differ from traditional jewellery making; and the affects making jewellery can have on the environment.
As well as making a range of ”recycled” jewelry with distribution outlets in a number of countries including Australia, USA, and Japan, Ben also teaches other jewelers his sustainable techniques.
