Endangered

About me:

Endangered’s mission is to contribute to the protection and restoration of our world’s most endangered species by offering statement jewelry designs on endangered species with a purpose. We donate 20 percent of sales till wildlife organisations.

The story behind ENDANGERED is rooted in my lifelong fascination for wildlife, combined with one of my interest in silversmithing, and is an idea that took shape during a five-month trip to Southeast Asia last year.

There were several crucial things that happened to me during that trip. I took the time to reflect on my values, what needs and drivers I had, and spent invaluable time visiting places where wildlife lives in their natural environment. Experiencing them so close was among the most powerful I have ever experienced. To then become aware of the threats they live under because of human influence was painful to me.

In Bali, in the small village of Celuk, I found a studio that manufactures gold and silver forging of recycled metals. I have been doing silversmithing for over five years and to combine my interest and at the same time do a good deed – became the beginning of ENDANGERED

Organic coral earring

A coral reef is an underwater ecosystem characterized by reef-building corals. Often called “rainforests of the sea”, shallow coral reefs form some of Earth’s most diverse ecosystems. They occupy less than 0.1% of the world’s ocean area, yet they provide a home for at least 25% of all marine species. Approximately 75% of coral reefs worldwide are currently threatened by a combination of local and global stressors.

Hawksbill turtle necklace

The Hawksbill sea turtle is a Critically Endangered sea turtle. They are the living representatives of a group of reptiles that has existed on Earth for the last 100 million years. They are a fundamental link in marine ecosystems and help maintain the health of coral reefs and sea grass beds. Like other sea turtles, hawksbills are threatened by the loss of nesting and feeding habitats, excessive egg collection, fishery-related mortality, pollution, and plastic. However, they are most threatened by wildlife trade.
