Margaret Athanas founded In the Light of Day Jewelry to provide heirloom quality pieces made with intention while maintaining integrity through sourcing transparency and environmental awareness. A female founded studio based in North Carolina: each piece uses carefully sourced stones and recycled metals because we care about the impact our products have on other people’s lives.

In the Light of Day was founded by a woman and seeks to support and empower other women through our supply chain partnerships and employment opportunities. Many of our mining partners are women who are breaking into a traditionally male dominated field. In the Light of Day Jewelry is proud that our partnership supports their ongoing education in mining practices, safety and business acumen.
