Something Green

Friday, October 17th, 2008

Ruff & Cut (ruffandcut.com), a really cool new socially responsible
jewelry company, has gotten together with top designers to create these “green” pieces made of rough diamonds and
recycled gold. There are beautiful rings showcasing conflict-free diamonds along with necklaces, pendants, and earrings. They then go a step further by promoting safe mining and ethical business practices in Sierra Leone. And from now until November 16, an additional 20% of all website purchases will go to improving the lives of the people in Sierra Leone’s mining communities—especially those of women and children.

Great Earrings

Thursday, October 2nd, 2008

I just found these hoop-and-charm interchangeable earrings from Zasha by JudeFrances and they’d be perfect for your wedding. Oprah and Hollywood stars such as Heather Graham have discovered Zasha, but the best part is that these earrings are actually affordable (diamond hoops start at $195.) First choose a hoop style, then add a charm. I love the diamond and topaz earrings pictured here for your “something blue.” Go to zasha.com for all styles, which include gold in white and yellow, pearls, diamonds, pink tourmaline, topaz, and cross and star-of-David charms. They’re all uniquely beautiful, and you’ll be wearing them long after your wedding.
