Elijah + Rhonda Wyman
RISD '04 [Jewelry + Light Metals]
Elijah & Rhonda Wyman have been working together on their art &
music since their marriage back in 2004, the same year Rhonda graduated
Rhode Island School of Design. There are not many tasks the two don't
share. Although Rhonda will make the more technical jewelry parts
herself and Elijah is said to be the salesman of the pair. The two love
to travel with their rescued pup Crash-dog, and cuddle with their cat
named Puppy who has no tail. You may have seen Elijah free of Rhonda
traveling to house shows, festivals, and random venues, or heard him on
your local college radio station. He's an indie-folk singer-songwriting
superhero. Listen to his music here:Elijah Ebenezer Wyman. His latest album, "Butterfly Needles" honestly chronicles his recently diagnosed Kidney Disease.

stock silver we use (i.e. not cast items) is 100% recycled.
2. We have switched to Bio-degradable flux's and Citric Acid pickle. This is much better for our bodies too!
3. All our literature is printed on 80-100% post consumer product, much
of it with soy based inks. The paper we purchase is made in a
hydro-electric powered plant.
4. We recycle of course.
5. For our upcoming wedding line and in custom work we refuse to work
with diamonds on an human rights and environmental level. (unless they
are handed down in the family.)
6. Our studio (which is in our yard) has a nice south facing window and skylight so that we don't need lights in the day.
7. We plan to heat our studio primarily using a passive solar window box heater that we will build.
8. We try and make it easy for people to find shops that carry us near
them so that they can shop locally instead of through our site. Check
out our "Where to Buy" Section to see if we're in a shop near you!
9. Our padded mailers are 90% recycled, 50% post consumer.
