Designer Todd Reed on His Passion for Sustainably Made Jewelry

When Todd Reed began crafting jewelry 26 years ago, the conversations around sustainability and responsibly sourced materials in the industry were not the hot topic they are today "The themes of civic and social responsibility and environmental stewardship all fell under the umbrella of fine jewelry design for me, and it felt right to operate from that standpoint," says Reed Reed's appreciation for responsibly sourced materials and diamonds has always been at the core of the brand along with designs that bring an edge of individuality to traditional diamond jewelry.

Among his standout designs are a one-of-a-kind pair of hand-shaped, blackened-gold-and-steel cuffs that glitter with diamonds, which Reed scattered like stars onto its surface In 2017, the brand unveiled its Forged as One campaign, a concept that has been brewing within Reed for over a decade In recent years, in accord with the "Right responsibility" mentality, Reed has been growing the brand's philanthropic engagement.

Between his dazzling designs and forward-thinking acts of philanthropy, Reed is proving that conscientious creating and consuming is itself a work of art. . Source
