Reflective Jewelry is a small artisan and designer jewelry company located in Santa Fe, NM. Established in 1995, we have an extensive line of handmade designs. These days, however, our primary focus is on custom and repurposed jewelry. We also have a strong social/environmental justice mission. We are the only certified Fairtrade Gold jewelers in the US, and have been pioneers in the ethical jewelry movement for over 20 years.
OUR WORK ENVIRONMENT is quintessentially small-business, with a sprinkle of Santa Fe charm. Every day will be different, and full of new challenges.
