Established in 2017, MACHETE is a line of eco-conscious, affordable jewelry for everyday wear. The tortoise shell acetate they source is high quality and non-petroleum based, imported from Italy. Cellulose acetate is a natural and renewable material, providing an eco-friendly alternative to petroleum-based materials.
Cellulose acetate is made by extracting cellulose fibers from cotton and wood pulp to create a transparent paste. This paste can then be colored, processed, and molded for a variety of industrial applications. For our jewelry, it is cut from a large block into thin sheets, and then cut again into smaller rectangular blocks.
Jennifer J Matchett, Designer and Creative Director of MACHETE, graduated with a degree in Art History from Gainesville, Florida.
