Lee Ohio : "On coral preservation"

13 November 2010

"On coral preservation"

Art Nouveau 10k gold and coral ring from Lauren Rose & Ageless Heirlooms. $449.

Recently I was asked to re-work some of the letters I had written to Etsy about the guest blogger post by Temple St. Clair in the Etsy's blog The Storque.  The original post was in opposition to the use of all coral in jewelry.  I'd love if you'd take a moment to read my response.  It'll let you know how I run my studio, what I will and won't use in my work and how I think it is important how we all take a certain amount of responsibility as artists and as consumers. Thank you! 


...I've also created a coral themed treasury in this post. Enjoy!

I had read both articles, and I'm very glad you had spoken for those who are educated about the different options of eco-friendly coral. Very well written!
