Kristen Robison of Minoux Jewelry designs minimalist pieces with an refined elegance. The company is dedicated to marrying "a love of style with a commitment to thoughtful consumption."
The pieces are made by hand using recycled sterling silver, bronze and gold, and the packaging is made from recycled paper. In another environmentally-conscious move, Minoux Jewelry opts for alternatives to metal-smithing that are less toxic.
Robison resists the urge to over-embellish, keeping each ring, earring, bracelet or necklace down to the bare minimum when it comes to design. In fact, the focus is ensuring that the jewelry will endure constant wear and the stress of time. Each piece is designed with durability and fortitude in mind, so don't worry about wearing them down.
