I was so excited to learn about how Tamara of McFarland Designs combines recycled metals and fair trade gemstones to create beautiful, custom jewelry designs such as engagement rings and wedding bands!

Read about Tamara and her commitment to making fair trade jewelry and check out her design process on her blog. Her blog even has some jewelry making tutorials and vegan recipes!

To view more of her work, visit the McFarland Designs Gallery and her Etsy Shop.
