Original Design
Unique impressions of the colors, textures, and moods of the seasons, Catherine Weitzman's necklace designs represent the
unique character of spring, summer, fall, and winter through elegant arrangements of semi-precious stone beads, moss, shells,
and other natural materials, captured in glass capsules.
Responsible Business Practices
mission statement
fair wage
Catherine Weitzman pays employees a starting wage of $13.19/hr., which falls within 10% of
Honolulu County's living wage.
- Local (Hawaii State) minimum wage: $7.75
- Federal minimum wage: $7.25
- Living wage of Honolulu County: $14.66
paid time off
Their PTO policy depends upon length of employment and status (full or part-time). All employees start with a minimum of 2 weeks PTO and accrue more time off based on the length of their employment and their evaluations. The company is also flexible about granting more unpaid time, as needed. PST is also granted as needed.
recycling primary/secondary materials
They recycle all of their metal, separating "clean metal" (which just gets re-melted) from "dirty metal" (i.e. metal that's been soldered), which gets refined.
charitable giving
The company does not formally track their charitable giving, but meets all our other criteria for responsible business practices.
Environmentally Friendly Materials
Sterling silver, peridot, dried flowers, apatite, borosilicate glass, cubic zirconium, quartz, 18K gold vermeil, and dried moss—all
natural source materials.
Resourceful Packaging
The Seasons Terrarium Necklaces are packaged in 100% recycled cardboard boxes (made with 90% post-consumer fiber and
10% pre-consumer fiber), covered with recycled paper. The boxes contain anti-tarnish poly-fill.
