The accessory collections boast beautiful minimalist silhouettes that have a slight sculptural twist. Each object is carefully produced by hand in Amanda Hunt's studio, where the creative strives to bring out the natural tonalities and the unique textures in each piece of metal. In the process of shaping her earthy jewelry designs, the maker taps into [ethically sourced gemstones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/h2er) and [recycled metal](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/recycled-metal-jewellery-reformation-x-clair-waight-keller-create-a-limited). Fully dedicated to preserving her love for nature, Amanda Hunt is eager to melt down and reuse waste from previous creations. In a sense, each offered piece tells a story — a narrative that can be true or completely imagined.
