Design Process
The motto is ecological responsibility without sacrifice of quality or style. Kyler sources all materials for Kyler designs in the US, to boost the national and local economy, and where there is confidence that each supplier provides ethical work facilities, fair wages and labor practices. This jewelry is made to be heirloom quality, also utilizing materials with recycled content.
The first facet of this approach is: reduce. Kyler pendant pieces are conceived to use the minimal amount of material and energy resources to successfully create a piece of jewelry with timeless style and enduring quality.The second facet is: reuse. Kyler jewelry is comprised of three types of materials, with an emphasis on choosing materials from recycled sources. All materials used are lead-free for your safety. All Kyler metal components are 100% USA manufactured, from metal creation through final fabrication, into Kyler's modern jewelry.
The third facet is: recycle. All waste and scrap materials from the production processes is recycled. All packaging is recyclable and reusable and our shipping boxes are certified cradle-to-cradle.
When both style and sustainability are made equal priorities, design thrives. That's what was found when Kyler took the leap from simply maintaining an ethical green workplace, to making sustainable style the core of our business.
