In-Depth Review
Handmade in Brooklyn
Catbird has become a staple of the New York jewelry scene, known for their 'sparkly bit' aesthetic. The Rebeccah Ring is a prime example of their commitment to local manufacturing. Every piece is made in their Brooklyn studio, allowing for total oversight of labor conditions and quality control. This proximity reduces shipping emissions and supports the local craft economy.
Recycled Precious Metals
The jewelry industry is notorious for destructive mining practices. Catbird mitigates this by using recycled gold and conflict-free stones. The Rebeccah Ring consists of a delicate 14k gold chain that wraps comfortably around the finger, offering a 'barely there' feel that has become the brand's signature.
- Metal: 100% Recycled 14k Yellow Gold
- Style: Soft chain ring
- Ethos: Zero-waste manufacturing goals
