Shooting for recreation is an [empowering sport](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/empowering-jewelry), but the debris left behind in national parks is significant,” leading the Hearts designer to use these shells in a beautiful and creative way. The Heart’s motto—“Conscious Minds Create Change”—explains the philosophy behind the company's beautifully crafted, [repurposed pieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-art-of-adornment). These products are sweatshop free, and hand-made in the United States.
