Must Have: Stingray Ring

by grechen on January 4, 2010 | SUBSCRIBE | TWITTER | FACEBOOK |

Happy New Year!! I’ve had a very busy few weeks and unfortunately, Green Grechen has taken a hit in posts (sorry!), but I’m almost back in full force – I’m moving to Austin, Texas this Friday – and featuring fabulous eco-fashion & deals again.

Part of why I took a little time off was because my fiance’s son was in town for a week and we tried to do some fun things, including a trip to my FAVORITE place EVER, the Georgia Aquarium. Seriously, I went to Sea World over the Summer and it pales in comparison with the Georgia Aquarium, in terms of exhibits at least. I love the Beluga whales, and the Whale Sharks are amazing. But my absolute favorite animals at the aquarium are the stingrays. When I was younger, I used to spend forever at the stingray petting pool at Sea World while my family would do other things. They are so beautiful and regal; I love to watch them fly through the water. This time, I found out they had a couple of new manta rays – I think this is the only aquarium to rehabilitate mantas – and I was fascinated:

Anyway, this is all as a segway to my must-have of the day, this Stingray ring by Alkemie jewelry made from reclaimed metal:

Must Have: Alkemie Serpent Bangle

I have a thing for snake jewelry; I don’t own any, but it’s what I’m drawn to. I’ve loved every piece since Alkemie first came on the scene with their recycled metal jewelry – it’s elegant without being bling-y, but also very down to earth – ESPECIALLY this “serpent” bangle with emerald eyes:
