MANUFACTURING
At Snoot & Stone, we source ethical raw materials globally – such as Fairmined Ecological Gold from Peru, conflict-free diamonds from Canada – but every piece of jewelry is crafted in-house, right here in New York City. Every clasp, link, and pendant begins as raw ethical materials and is shaped from scratch in the Snoot & Stone workshop.
For the few steps that rely on specialized external craftsmanship – such as the cutting of our USA-mined Montana sapphire beads in India – we say so openly. Transparency is part of our promise.
