Iron and Twine Design

I love the assembly line feeling of customizing and putting together our eco-friendly packaging! In the last year, we have switched to 100% recycled paper shipping/ packaging/merchandising materials, as well as unbleached, fair trade cotton jewelry bags. And since we work with sustainable and mostly recycled/recyclable metals in our jewelry, we think the aesthetic fits pretty well too. 😜 🌍 🌱 💍 🎁 As we lead up to Earth Day (and shouldn’t every day be earth day?) we are trying to do our part as a small business who primarily sells our products through shipping to minimize our environmental footprint. Through the generosity of Etsy, every package we ship is also 100% carbon offset. We feel better doing what we can to minimize our impact on the environment as we continue to grow, and we hope our customers will appreciate it too.

Having cute, handmade packaging and marketing materials makes packing up twenty orders a lot more enjoyable! All of our graphic design is done from scratch by my husband and I, and when it ends up on physical products it is done using recycled/recyclable materials so nothing we send out needs to be trashed by our customers. It’s a teeny way we try to keep our impact down as e-commerce sellers!

Slowly but surely making my way towards launching our standalone online store/website. We love Etsy and will continue to sell there, but are hoping to expand our visibility on google by having a standalone site, too. Our business grew 500% last year, is already up 300% percent from that this year, and we’ve got a possible collaboration with a new clothing line in the works. It feels like we’ve grown into a more grown-up website, even if I never feel like much of a grown up at all. Stay tuned for the launch of ironandtwinedesign.com!

These stunning geometric dangle earrings are available in our Etsy shop NOW! We hand-craft every part of these earrings in our blacksmithing studio in Portland, OR. We hand-forge dainty rotating polygons from pure raw brass wire, and attach them to 14K gold earring hooks. Classically feminine with a modern twist, these babies definitely make a statement— but at only $25 and weighing in at less than 1/8 ounce, won’t make a heavy impact on your ears or your wallet. There are only 2 pairs left, so get yours now! Link to Etsy shop in bio.

Common metals= totally uncommon earrings. Our brand new ”Common Metals” stud earring collection is available just in time to ring in a bright & shiny new year. Created for our holiday pop-up collection at Athleta, the only thing these earrings have in common is that they sold out uncommonly quick. Hand-forged from pure raw brass and copper, these stud-muffins (har har) are hand-crafted from scratch in our PDX blacksmithing studio. Mixing high-luster (and sustainably sourced) brass and copper with organic shapes and textures, these modern studs are bound to become classic staples in your wardrobe. Classy, comfortable and simply one of a kind— minimalist earrings designed for maximum impact. Jewelry doesn’t have to be enormous, complicated or gaudy to make a statement. These, and other designs, are available in our Etsy shop now (link in bio).

Just some of the earrings for sale tomorrow as we close out the last of our winter shows at . We’ll be there tomorrow from 2:30 - 5:30, so if you’re in downtown Portland, come say hi!
