Trying to be eco-friendly but don’t want to give up on your favorite jewelry? While you don’t have to give up on your favorite jewelry altogether why don’t you give eco-friendly jewelry a try? Not only is it safe for the environment but also looks just as stunning as the non eco-friendly jewelry out there on the market. One thing to look at when it comes to non eco-friendly jewelry is that just 1 brand new 1/3 oz., 18 karat gold ring creates roughly 20 tons of mine waste. Doesn’t sound too great, does it? That’s because it isn’t.
If you find yourself wanting to try out eco-friendly jewelry have a look at some of these websites:
Moonrise Jewelry – Not only does Moonrise Jewelry offer free shipping but they also sell something that could be considered quite unique. They sell orchid necklaces made with a real orchid blossom, which isn’t only unique but also very beautiful.
Elemental Silver – Elemental Silver offers a vast range of silver jewelry, a lot of which is made using shells. A nice addition to their website is the fact that they offer free shipping on all of their orders.
greenKarat – When purchasing from greenKarat it is great to know that their products are made from precious metals and recycled gems. What makes this company unique in a way is that you can customize your own jewelry. If someone is looking for wedding jewelry that is eco-friendly this would be a great place to start.
Lucina – Want to support women’s rights while wearing eco-friendly jewelry? Lucina just might be the company for you then. With Lucina every purchase you make supports women’s rights. The way that is done is by a portion of every product that is purchased being donated to women’s rights non-profits.
Verde Rocks – Looking for fun jewelry? Check out Verde Rocks. Their jewelry is made from materials such as vintage mother of pearl and bamboo. They carry items from compacts all the way to lockets, which makes it a great place to shop for teenagers as well as adults.

I have never heard of eco-friendly jewelry before. There are some really pretty pieces on these sites. I bookmarked a few to look at later. Thank for sharing.
That’s a wonderful Idea, I love the sound of the orchid necklace too it sounds beautiful.
Those are some great sites! I’ve used Lucina before and love it.
[...] Green and recycled jewelry is also a great idea. Recycled gemstones and found objects like shells and bamboo make beautiful and wearable pieces for any occasion. [...]
I love these sites. I bookmarked a few of them. They have the most beautiful pieces.
