Our Values
At DANSEREAU, we believe that every choice we make has a ripple effect.
We craft each piece of jewelry not only to be worn and cherished for a lifetime but also to resonate with elegance and enduring quality. Our aim is to create jewelry that touches the hearts of those who wear it, leaving a lasting impact on their lives.
We are equally committed to minimizing our impact on the planet.
All Dansereau jewelry is handcrafted by local artisans and sourced through small businesses across New England. We take pride in ensuring that every step—from the initial design to material sourcing, casting, and delivery—reflects our dedication to sustainability.
By reducing our environmental footprint, we strive to make a positive difference for people and the planet, nurturing beauty that will last for generations.
Ethical Materials
At DANSEREAU, we believe in creating jewelry that not only embodies beauty but also respects the world we live in. That’s why we choose materials with care and conscience.
Our jewelry is crafted from sterling silver and recycled brass, a choice that reflects our commitment to sustainability. By using recycled brass, we reduce the demand for newly mined metals, embracing a circular approach to jewelry design that honors both the earth and the community we serve.
We also make a conscious decision to forgo plating. While plating can add a temporary shine, it is harmful to the environment and fades over time. By avoiding it, we ensure that each DANSEREAU piece remains as stunning and durable as the day it was created, designed to be cherished for a lifetime.
Locally Sourced with Care
Every element of our jewelry, from the materials to the packaging, is sourced locally from trusted partners across Rhode Island. This not only supports local businesses but also allows us to maintain a close connection to the origins of our materials, ensuring they align with our values.
