OUR METHOD
OUR DESIGN APPROACH
Jewelry denotes wealth and status, as well as artistry, beauty, and love. Anton Zoti Earthstone Jewelry is mindfully designed, responsibly sourced and carefully made into unique jewelry for all.
Many of our Earthstones are exclusive or in limited supply. We search to find quality unique natural crystals and semi-precious gemstones that will set your jewelry apart. Our Limited Editions Collection has designs that are limited in their availability due to scarcity of Earthstone supply or a feature bead is no longer available. With this Collection we urge you to make a decision quickly so you don't get disappointed. But don't worry, we have plenty of other designs to choose from.
Inspiration is drawn from many places. The qualities and attributes of the Earthstone itself, the ethno-cultural influence or just finding a keystone stimulates our imagination. Earthstones are sourced globally, processed centrally and find their way to us through trusted ethical importers. Our suppliers steer us away from synthetic, reconstituted or dyed product. We choose A or better quality natural Earthstones, visually inspect every strand and hand pick every bead that goes onto a bracelet.
Our handmade bracelets are made from natural materials and that there may be variance on some of the Earthstones, as such no two beads or bracelets can be exactly alike. Our feature beads, dZi, hand carved designs and sterling silver may also vary. This adds to the uniqueness of each piece of jewelry. The number of beads used also varies depending on the bead size, accent bead size and on the wrist size selected.
Production
Some Earthstones have different shades and colours and depending on what part of the stone the bead was made from, will affect its appearance vastly. For example, Pietersite has shades of blue, red and yellow. When we string a bracelet, we will consciously arrange the colours to appear random and balanced.
Our design studio is a quiet tranquil place, almost Zen like. We try to assemble our jewelry being in a mindful place.
Before we carefully package and mail orders, we do a final inspection and clean the jewelry to remove dust and fingerprints.
Quantum
You may have noticed that we do not categorize our jewelry by sex, i.e., men’s or women’s designs. Earthstones do not have a sex or gender. Anyone can choose to wear whatever they feel comfortable with and is their personal expression. I use the term Quantum. If need be, the designs are male or female or both or none. They are fluid in expression.
GIVING BACK TO THOSE IN NEED
We strongly believe in supporting those in need, whether for basic needs or for striving towards academic excellence. Antony has supported food drives, academic scholarship fundraising events, as well as, going out to the streets to feed and provide warm winter coats, hats and gloves to the needy homeless. We are currently researching a Charity that supports children’s education in Madagascar.
