It’s not often I come across a piece of jewelry I love that I also can afford…or at least isn’t more than two or three hundred dollars…but I’m consistently impressed by Alex & Ani. I have a delicate expandable ring (like their bracelets) by Alex & Ani that I’ve had for years, and I still love it. Now that they’re making nearly all their pieces with recycled metal, I love it even more! And most of their items are under $100; worthy additions to any eco-friendly wardrobe…
This ring is a new arrival at Shopbop, and only $58. It comes in other colors, but this blue is my favorite – it’s so vibrant and fun!
I’ve posted a lot of recycled leather handbags on Green Grechen – what can I say, I never get tired of finding lovely leather handbags – and as a follow-up to a popular post I did last year on “Reclaimed Chic: The Best Recycled Leather Handbags,” here’s a new rundown of my favorite recycled leather handbag designers:
Ashley Watson
Ashley Watson was the first designer I found a couple of years ago working with recycled leather. I may be wrong, but in my opinion, she paved the way for others to follow, and consistently produces unique, fashionable, high-quality recycled leather bags. She’s sold at nearly every online eco-boutique you can find now – Kaight, Beklina, and Nimli have some of the best selection. My favorite is this Kestrel bag at Beklina for $285:
reMade USA
reMade USA is a new recycled leather handbag designer who’s coming strong on to the market. Aside from selling in her own webshop, some of her designs will soon be sold on Barney’s Co-Op. Cool! The Sonoma is one of my favorite designs – the duffel is always an interesting shape. ($395)

I’d love to see how these look on a finger; how fun would one of these be with a maxi dress and big straw hat at a resort in the Caribbean this Winter?? **wishful thinking**
