Designer Kirsten Muenster, says " Metal is in my blood. My ancestors were coppersmiths, sheet metal workers and artists. I am a jeweler. I’m inspired by nature and its signals of growth, rebirth and change. The Japanese refer to the observation and appreciation for the cycle of life as wabi sabi. It’s a simple aesthetic, one that appreciates the beauty in imperfection and the elimination of the non-essential. It's rustic, subtle and treads lightly on the planet. This has been a guiding principle in my work and my life."

Kirsten believes that the the fashion industry should be more environmentally and social responsible as she incorporates ethically sourced, recycled and vintage objects into her work  and is a natural part of her construction process.

 "I educate myself about the materials I work with to understand where they come from and whose lives they may impact. I’m always exploring more conscious and sustainable options for my jewelry materials." says Kirsten.
