The Charmed Life – Eco Friendly Charm Necklaces

By Bonny Osterhage

When Oprah’s “O Magazine,” calls out a trend, you can be sure it’s a hot one. So, last month, when she highlighted charm necklaces, we knew that it would be necessary to show you green-minded gals how you too can enjoy the charmed life, without compromising your values. We found plenty of eco friendly necklaces, made from reclaimed or natural materials, that we think are pretty magical.

Get personal with this necklace that allows you to create you own unique look with an assortment of recycled metal letter charms and natural stones. Wear the initials and birthstones of those you love and always keep them close. Available in gold or silver, prices start at $45 at www.tumbleweedbeadco.com.

The fashion forecast looks bright when you make a sunny statement with your jewelry. Handmade from reclaimed metal, it brightens up any outfit. Available in gold or silver patina. $176 at www.alkemiejewelry.com.

May is National Bike Month. What better way to show your support (besides biking, of course) than to wear your ride around your neck? Hand stamped with a bike symbol and a cluster of stones, it’s a cute way to show you care. Choose from 14k gold fill, sterling silver or brass. Prices start at $45 at www.nashelle.com.

Hey baby, what’s your sign? Show, rather than tell, with these cool necklaces, featuring zodiac symbols, cut from sheets of recycled metal. Wear your own, or the sign of someone you love. Available in a gold or silver finish for $42 at www.krisnations.com.

Nothing lazy about this daisy, set with your choice of a fair trade ruby, sapphire, or recycled diamond. Made from recycled gold, it’s simple and simply adorable. Here’s to flower power! $185 at www.cheekymonkeyjewelry.com (Also available in sterling recycled silver for $75).

Put a Cork in It! (Your Spring Wardrobe, That Is)

By Bonny Osterhage

This spring, designers are uncorking a sustainable trend that is blurring the lines between mainstream and eco friendly fashion accessories. That trend is cork, and everyone from Manolo Blahnik to Kate Spade is showing it in their spring and summer collections. One of our most eco friendly materials, cork is harvested from the bark of the cork oak tree. The bark, which grows back, is biodegradable, renewable, and, judging from these accessories, beautiful!

This lightweight bracelet is as durable as leather, but far more eco friendly. It wraps around the wrist and features a delicate, sterling silver lotus flower, dangling from the Bali silver magnetic clasp. Very boho vibe! $61 at www.charmeddesign.com.

The average woman living in the Namatala slum of Mbale, Uganda lives on 1,000 Shillings per day. That’s about the equivalent of 40 cents.
