A Trend that Really Stacks Up – Eco Friendly Stackable Bracelets

By Bonny Osterhage

 

Sometimes, less is more, but sometimes less is just that – less. That is the case with the current trend of piling, layering and stacking on multiple bracelets. It’s an easy trend to try because there really isn’t a wrong way to do it. If in doubt, just follow the same rules you would apply to a guest list – the more, the merrier, and the more diverse the group, the better. We found a few socially conscious and eco friendly bracelets just begging to come to the party. Arm candy never looked so sweet!

Need a confidence booster? Try this combination of beautiful stones. Each one, from the Blue Lace Agate to the Scene Jasper, is carefully selected for the contribution it brings to your well-being. Strung on a sturdy 100% silk cord, it’s like a fashionable shot in the arm! $69.99 at www.energymuse.com.

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.
