How fun and fabulous are these recycled spoon jewelry pieces from Etsy artisan Linda Taylor (LTCreatesJewelry’s)?

Linda’s unique designs made of vintage and antique flatware would make wonderful bridesmaid gifts. The spoon and sterling silver bead bracelet would look exquisite worn on your wedding day.

Sticks n’ Stones

Sticks and stones may break your bones but I promise, these twigs are going to warm your heart.

Okomido brings life to recycled precious metals and gemstones through their interpretation of nature’s masterpieces. These distinctive stackable twig rings are a brilliant example of their exquisite artisan pieces handcrafted using 18K rose gold, sterling silver and chocolate shakudo.

What is shakudo you ask? Shakudo is a Japanese metal coloring method of mixing a low gold content alloy with copper that achieves the beautiful chocolate colored metal featured in many of their designs.

Okomido’s commitment to the environment includes “no new mining” practices, instead, metals and gemstones are reinterpreted from vintage jewelry.

Chocolate, Diamonds & Rings…

Three of my favorite things. When I saw this delicious wedding set from Angie Star Jewelry it was inevitable I’d fall in love with it.

Made by Angie herself, this stunning recycled 14k yellow and 14k white gold set shows-off beautiful organic shapes and finishes and is topped off with a stunning conflict-free chocolate diamond.

Angie Star Jewelry’s professional designers specialize in custom jewelry handcrafted from recycled and ethically sourced materials.

I was thrilled to read about their new commitment to creating eco friendly wedding pieces in their February 15^th blog post. Can’t wait to see more of their gorgeous wedding creations.
