EA Burns: an interview with ethical jewellery designer Lizzie Burns
The new collection from EA Burns is powerful jewellery at its finest: Ancient Rites is constructed entirely from ethically sourced materials and made in the UK: and it looks GREAT.

EA Burns, Ancient Rites by Rebecca May Higgins.
Jewellery by Lizzie Burns first caught my eye on a market stall several years ago, and since then her work has gone from strength to strength. With a new website just launched and her wonderful new collection Ancient Rites now on sale, it's time to catch up with the woman behind EA Burns.

I love the fact that you produce an ethical collection that is also fashion forward - what prompted a move in this direction?
I really felt that (and still do) that designers have a responsibility to work ethically. We're creative and there's no reason why a good designer can't be more experimental and work with less used materials or processes to create pieces which are still exciting but far less poluting or socially problematic.
