Orange Box Jewelry is handmade by Krissy Maier, an avid collector of sparkily bits and pieces. Inspired by the beauty of all things vintage and passionate about living a fair trade, eco-friendly, sustainable life, Krissy realized that by using discarded vintage jewelry components and beads she could create new fashionable pieces. Her career as a jewelry designer began when she discovered that other people appreciated her creations and wanted to wear them.
In 2007, looking to make Orange Box jewelry holistically sustainable, Krissy began a line of jewelry using fairly traded sterling silver clasps and earwires from a small cooperative in Bali, Indonesia.
All pieces of jewelry are designed and hand crafted by Krissy Maier in her studio, located in the Ballard Neighborhood of Seattle. Orange Box jewelry is sold weekly in Seattle at the Edmonds Saturday Market and Fremont Sunday Market.
