It’s important for me to support small, American, independent miners who share the same values of mining ethically. We work with a mine that has an incredible love for this American gem.  All of the rough material is mined with passion and care for the environment. Instead of creating mass-produced gemstones, mined without regard to the environment, and cut with machines, they work with award winning gemstone cutters and carvers to actualize the beauty of each gem. They love each gem as if it were their child. I felt like I was entrusted with this gem, like a parent entrusts their child to the care of another. I hoped to  present this stone in the best light possible. I was inspired by the gem and its environment. I felt that the gem was a beautiful reflection of its Oregon origins, with a loving, healthy and radiant energy. All jewels should be created this way to maintain its pure energy—with love and compassion from the very beginning to the very end—from the miner, to the cutter to the designer. We believe that creating jewels in this way brings the wearer the best benefits.” — VANESSA LEU&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="p1"&gt;ABOUT VANESSA LEU&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="p1"&gt;Vanessa Leu has a love and appreciation for art and spirituality, and seeks to rewrite the definition of jewelry as something more than a luxury product. Her jewelry is created from gems and precious metals. Disenchanted by unethical practices in the jewelry business, Leu uses her knowledge to create a line of limited-edition pieces that are created with recycled metals and conflict-free diamonds.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://vanessaleu.tumblr.com/post/48941354328</link><guid>http://vanessaleu.tumblr.com/post/48941354328</guid><pubDate>Fri, 26 Apr 2013 11:13:02 -0700</pubDate><category>vanessa leu</category><category>jewelry</category><category>style</category><category>earrings</category><category>rose gold</category></item><item><title>Vanessa Leu on the Oscars tonight!

This miraculous gem is a one of a kind sunstone that we purchased on a recent trek to Tucson.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It is extremely rare to find sunstone in this quality, size and unique cut. This gem was cut by award-winning American gemstone cutter who has won accolades for his craft.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This sunstone comes from an Oregon miner, who spends all summer uncovering the rough material.
