THE DESIGNERS

The design team of Joanne and Brian Leber combines classic styling with a contemporary sensibility.

Working on either a custom design project commissioned to meet your specific ideals or though their regular collection, this duo aims to create jewelry you can wear every day. And love every day.

Brian melds his knowledge of gemstones, jewelry making, art, and music, into the design of jewelry. In addition to his art and music degree, Brian is certified by the American Gem Society and the Gemological Institute of America.

Joanne received her BFA in Fine Art and Design. A practicing artist, she uses her talents to design and sketch jewelry for Leber Jeweler Inc.

Throughout their lives the couple have been actively involved with various human rights and environmental organizations and have chosen to live with a respectful attitude to the Earth and its inhabitants. Since the 1990's they have been at the forefront addressing a range of ethical issues that face the jewelry industry. Respect for the environment, fair-trade issues and the rights of workers throughout the world have always been of deep concern to Brian and Joanne. But speaking out is not enough, they felt the need to create a line of jewelry that exemplified their ideals while exhibiting a sense of design and style. With this in mind, the Earthwise Jewelry® Collection was born.
