About
Welcome! Thank you for visiting my website.
Finch Metal is an independent jewelry studio. The jewelry you see here is designed and handcrafted by me in Washington DC. I love the properties of metal and learning new things it can do when heated, folded, or hammered. Many of my pieces are inspired by children’s playthings, but I also experiment with basic shapes for delicate, classic pieces.
Ten percent of all shop proceeds are donated to charity. Each month, Finch Metal will rotate the charities receiving the proceeds. I spend a lot of time researching charities to get to know their programs, and have a particular interest in poverty alleviation. I select organizations that limit how much they spend on overhead, and instead, focus on getting resources and services to those in need. I have a research background in community psychology, with an interest in how communities and social policies influence children and families. I care very much about the health and well-being of communities, and try to maintain this awareness as Finch Metal grows. For more details about the featured charities, please click on Giving Back
I strive to minimize the environmental impact and promote sustainability as much as possible. My packaging comes from recyclable materials when feasible. I am currently in the process of transitioning to a supplier of recycled/reclaimed silver that does not buy from mining companies. Mining has a significant impact on the environment and often the people that work as miners. My supplier provides socially and environmentally-responsible products, and provides silver that has been recycled from the existing metal supply.
