HUMANKIND,
THE SOCIAL
IMPACT
COLLECTION

Those of you who know me personally, know Swimming in Stones is my
love job, not my career. My career supports my love job. But as love
implies, this connection to jewellery and the people who create it with me,
is pure joy. 2020 reawakened my passion. My greatest achievement this
past year has been the realignment of my values, my purpose in starting
SIS (in 2007... sheesh) and a new socially conscious collection that I'm
very proud to share. In May, my Indian connection contacted me
understandably sad and quite desperate.
Covid-19. Fear. No work. Talented Artisans fleeing Jaipur to the villages
where there was and still is, very little work. I sent my friend money.
Twice...before the light went on. Inspired, I have spent the last 6 months
with purpose. 5am starts before work; designing, dusting off old plans and
sprinkling them with new thinking. And importantly, collaborating with
very talented Artisans. Under strict Covid-19 safety protocols, we had a
team able to work, earn money and provide for their families.

Swimming in Stones is committed that;
Every piece tells a story. Sentiment. Stone. Craftsmanship. Every piece is
designed to be handcrafted and use traditional methods to create more jobs
for our Artisans. The bespoke SIS Studio is small; people are safe, we
reduce waste. We use quality materials; semi precious gemstones, 925
Silver and 22 Carat Gold Vermeil (4 micron of Gold over 925 Silver). We
create only a very small quantity of each design. To serve humans who are
inspired by other humans, the planet and craftsmanship.
For every piece sold, 1% of sales is donated back to the community or
environment as I help the team become more sustainable, but focussing on
people first.
swimminginstones
The world is going to take time to adjust to
the new normal in western countries, in
India I imagine it's going to take some
serious time. My mission for 2021 is to
engage these Artisans in regular work, every
day. So rather than procrastinate, worrying
about personal 'selling my designs' barriers,
I'm now more than ever, driven to support
these talented, deserving people.

If you feel inspired, you can be the first to
purchase Human Kind, 
there are only 5 of
each product as I’ve moved into higher
quality materials and am ensuring the team
are more than appropriately compensated.
