FAQ’s

• WHAT KIND OF JEWELRY CAN BE DONATED?
  We welcome any and all jewelry—whether it’s metal, plastic, precious, mass-produced, broken, tangled or incomplete—we welcome it all! If you have jewelry you no longer wear, if it’s just not your style, or has a missing piece, please send it our way! We are excited to transform it into something new!

• WHEN IS THE DEADLINE FOR DONATING?
  We need to receive all donations by Monday, September 1st. Thanks!

• IS IT POSSIBLE TO MAIL IN MY DONATION?

• WHY SHOULD I DONATE TO THIS PROJECT?
  There are so many reasons! The project is educational for our students and community as we will assess and examine objects, materials and sourcing. Students will gain a deeper understanding of how things are made, ethical practices, creative problem solving, and thoughtful re-use through the circular economy model.

  Anyone who donates will receive a coupon/discount for the purchase of a one-of-a-kind piece made by our network of participating jewelers and metalsmiths. All proceeds from the project will support student makers and the Ethical Metalsmiths organization.

• WHEN IS THE EXHIBITION AND SALE?
  Saturday November 1, 2025 will be the opening reception for the Radical Jewelry Makeover Exhibition at The D.R.A.W. Gallery in Kingston, NY. We look forward to welcoming you to this event, and maybe you’ll be able to spot your donated jewelry in one of the new works!
