I’m a sucker for anything with hearts and stars on it – bonus for both – and am always a fan of independent designers using recycled metals…like Kris Nations. These recycled gold or silver star cuffs are only $55 (they’d make a wonderful gift for your sister, or for yourself!) at Eco Citizen:
I am seeing a big increase in desigers using recycled metals over here in the UK.
I am not sure if you guys have heard about the new initiative by ARM and Fairtrade Labelling Association to produce a certification for ‘Fairtrade’ and ‘Fairmined’ gold mainly from smaller miners.
