I’m a bit of a jewelry snob. I admit it. I like my jewelry to be real, beautiful, and well made.

Consequently, my jewelry box isn’t very full.

Several weeks ago I was introduced* to jewelry designer, Rebekah Green, whose website says “Because even feeling pretty can help save the world!”

Not only is their jewelry beautiful, comfortable, and incredibly well made; but it is also affordable ($50 for the aquamarine drops pictured top right) and made by a company dedicated to responsible and ethical practices:

• They use 100% recycled 14k & 18k gold in all their designs.
• They only use fair trade gemstones.
• Each piece is made in the United States and is hand-cast, hand-set, and hand-polished. Each pair of earrings is truly one-of-a-kind.
• Even their product labels are instantly biodegradable
• AND they donate 5% of their net profits to Global Green USA charity: Water, and Heifer International

Some of the other designs I love are:

A pretty and sparkly pair of earrings really can make you feel beautiful… and Blissful!
