S2-07: Susan Wheeler, Purpose-Driven Design
Cause jeweler, writer and advocate for fair trade jewelry, Susan Wheeler is also the founder of the Chicago Responsible Jewelry Conference and the nonprofit Responsible Jewelry Transformative. Dedicated to working with certified and ethical supply chains—emphasizing a reduced impact on the environment and the safe working conditions for all jewelry employees—Susan invites us to learn more about the journey each treasured piece takes before it is placed in a customer’s hand. “It’s sometimes hard for us to remember that someone dug that out of the earth, that somebody else cut that […] so, it’s good to remember how precious these things are,” she says. Follow the path of responsible jewelry design with Susan Wheeler and host Courtney Gray in this enlightening For The Love of Jewelers podcast episode.
