Astor & Orion In The Press
Astor & Orion is an independent ethical jewelry brand founded in Seattle by designer Karen Hartman. Each piece is hand-sculpted using 3D design tools, cast in recycled metals, and produced at a third-party certified facility meeting Sedex SMETA, ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001 standards. Our work has been recognized by global fashion, sustainability, and lifestyle media as a leading example of ethical fine jewelry design.
