Eco-chic Eco Chick necklace

Christy Robinson makes eco-chic jewelry with whimsical green messages -- out of 100% recycled aluminum.

Love Tiffany & Co.’s ethical procurement policies but can’t ever afford to buy the pretty stuff? Try shopping Christy Robinson’s recycled aluminum jewelry (via greengretchen) for cute, eco-friendly necklaces that’ll cost you just $20 - $35.
 
 
Christy’s an animal rights activist — and unless you really do consider meat murder, some of the necklace messages will be offputting. But most of the eco-jewelry isn’t so stridently vegan, and some zany ones aren’t even eco-themed. Here’s a good one to wear to the next good drinks:
 
 
And this one, my personal favorite, may be appropriate for your next MENSA meeting:
 
 
There’s even one appropriate to wear while watching eco-documentaries at home:
 
 
About 40-50% of aluminum in cans is recycled, but Christy’s aluminum’s 100% recycled — and of course, can be recycled if you ever get tired of them. The chain and clasps on the aluminum pendants are sterling silver and made in the U.S. Remember — You can sell back gold and silver for recycling!
 
Take a closer look at the above and many more unique pieces at Christy Robinson. Unfortunately my birthday isn’t until Nov…..

I just found a great site for recyled, reclaimed, reused and green jewelry. Local VT artist - check it out: http://www.etsy.com/shop/valstori

In addition to Christy Robinson's jewelry, there's another great eco/fair trade + chic jewelry company that I know if. It's called The Andean Collection, www.theandeancollection.com. Their materials come from the rainforests of northern Ecuador and are handcrafted by artisans who have made this type of jewelry for centuries. Really nice stuff! And sustainable :)

These are great! Too bad I just missed Mother's Day. I may have to buy one for myself - darn. :)
