earth-friendly jewelry

These days, it's imperative that we do what we can to help the environment.  Sustainability has migrated to the jewelry industry with some artists using eco-friendly, recylable materials to make beautiful jewelry.  I'm loving the earth-friendly collections by Deborah Bushinski and WeWood available in-store and at our online store at dmgnoho.com.

WeWood makes sophisticated wooden watches made from mostly scrap wood.  The company plants a tree for every watch sold.  Since 2011, it has planted over 420,000 trees!  I'm loving our WeWood collection right now.  From feminine florals to large, statement pieces, you'll definitely find your timepiece with WeWood!

I discovered Deborah Bushinski a couple of years back at a show and fell in love with her work. She uses salvaged birch bark and creates earrings, pins, and necklaces. Combining birch bark with gemstones and gold leaf overlay, the artist proves that green jewelry can be sophisticated and beautiful.
