Sustainable
The fashion industry is one of the most polluting industries in the world, and it’s time we rethink the materials, processes, and packaging used to create our beloved purchases. This is why we’ve done the upfront legwork and vetted our brands to ensure that our planet’s health is top of mind for them as well.
Woman-Owned
Women lift up half of the sky - by investing in women, you’re assisting in the process of creating more wealth for families and communities. The successes of women shape the way young girls see themselves as they develop into leaders, and it's essential for the world to provide leaders that mirror half of the population.
Toxic Free
The secret behind the beauty, personal-care, and fashion industry is that they’re virtually unregulated, and therefore, allowed to use untested chemicals in their products. Exposure to these ingredients can be harmful overtime, and that’s why we’ve vetted each and every single one of these brands to ensure that they’re up to standards for those looking for a cleaner beauty routine or may be more sensitive to harsh ingredients.
Ethical
Here at ourCommonplace, all brands have our ethical stamp of approval, which encompasses decent working conditions, treatment of workers, and fair-wages. Through providing a platform for purchasing ethical goods and ensuring all brands uphold ethical standards, we hope to take us towards a more equitable and just world.
BIPOC-Owned
We believe in uplifting BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) communities by empowering their businesses. By choosing to allocate your purchasing power to BIPOC-owned businesses, you're not only strengthening local BIPOC communities — you're also contributing to shrinking the racial wealth gap, fostering job creation, and propelling diverse representation across consumer industries.
Cruelty Free
Animal tests are often painful and cause the suffering and deaths of millions of animals every year. Having this stamp of approval means that no animals were tested on, harmed or killed in the process of making the product. When you opt in for cruelty-free brands, you’re opting out of animal testing, and investing in clean products that are made for the benefit of your body, animals, and the environment.
I couldn't not name these the baller hoops....
If you've been searching for those "just right" hoop earrings, your dreams are about to come true. Not too big, not too small, enough to make a statement but keep it refined, and light enough for comfortable, all-day wear.
These finely crafted gold vermeil hoops from the Seeded Collection feature dimensional spheres stationed in place along a hollow form hoop to keep things light and give shine on from all sides. They have an easy and secure snap hinge closure. These are the pair that go from brunch, to beach, to night-out, to "I just want to dress up my white tee and pony tail and be fabulous while I'm at it."
The seeded collection is all about planting your dream seeds, and watching them grow as you follow your path. Wear these as a swinging shiny reminder to follow yours.
Materials: 14k Gold Vermeil
Our vermeil is an especially thick layer of gold bonded over sterling silver. That's 2-3x thicker than standard plating. Because it's gold over silver (as opposed to commonly used brass) it's ideal for sensitive skin and has long lasting shine and quality. We like to think of vermeil as the business class of golds.
Sizing: 46mm (just shy of 2")
Weight: 9 grams per pair (a little less than a nickel's weight per ear)
For sensitive ears, that's light enough for comfortable all day wear.
