Socially Responsible Bangle, Baubles & Beads!


Oakland, CA . . . Lori Bonn Designs announced the launch of a long term industry project called Clear Conscience © jewelry and accessories that will provide the consumer a choice to purchase products that are environmentally neutral and socially positive. In developing this initiative, it is Lori Bonn Gallagher and her husband Bill’s hope that their program will lead to a standard in the industry for Clear Conscience © jewelry and accessories.

To assist in their project, Lori and Bill are seeking advice, support and participation of suppliers, other designers, retailers, educational institutions and consumers. Once adopted, anyone purchasing a Clear Conscience © product will know that the item was produced in a responsible manner without harm to the environment or the people in the communities from which it came.

Lori Bonn Designs recognizes that while there are jewelry and accessory products that are made and come from responsible sources, not all are produced in this manner. The concern of the Gallagher’s is that there are many communities around the world that have been harmed by the environmental impact of material production and have had negative social impact from unsafe and unfair labor practices.

Without a standard, the average consumer has little way of knowing the impact of their purchases. Misdirected consumer backlash due to lack of knowledge or misinformation could even harm communities that can least afford it. Clear Conscience © accessories creates the possibility that an informed consumer and a cohesive, aligned industry will have a positive impact on the communities which we trade and give consumers a “clear conscience” when purchasing their baubles, bangles and beads!
