The Tip is 'Ask manufacturers' Some times I have run across an advertisement that implied a product was Made in USA but the product did not have the Made in USA label. Before I buy or put the product on my Made in USA list, I email the manufacturer and ask if their product is Made in USA. If they say yes I ask why their product is not labeled that way. Seldom will they tell me why but many times they will tell me every component that is Made in the USA and those that are not. I then make my decision about buying their product and put it on my list if they convince me. Buying Tip Continued - Read more on Made in America Products by Another Feather Portland-based designer and jeweler Hannah Ferrara began making minimalistic jewelry after searching long & hard for the pieces she herself wanted to wear. Inspired by her travels, simplistic design, ancient relics, and an appreciation for well made objects and heirlooms, her line Another Feather includes handcrafted metal made jewelry and simple everyday adornments paired down to their most minimal forms. Her collections are often described as ?jewelry for the non-jewelry wearer', and embrace the japanese concept of wabi-sabi. Each piece is designed to be worn day in and out, with a focus on comfort, material, and interaction with the body. Hannah uses traditional metal smithing techniques and tools to craft each item, using recycled metals from sustainable sources and low impact studio practices. Each piece of jewelry is made with care and given special attention to detail, embracing natural imperfections of the hand at work. Hannah holds a BFA in both Metalsmithing Jewelry Design, as well as Fibers Textiles and a BS degree in Art Education. All jewelry is handcrafted in our Portland studio.
