Green jewelry is jewelry made in a more sustainable manner than most jewelry available. The market for sustainable jewelry has grown over the past few years as people pay more attention to where what they’re buying has come from.
Green jewelry can be just about any type of jewelry–necklaces, earrings, rings, bracelets, anklets and more. So what exactly is green jewelry? Metals used in green jewelry are not mined destructively as jewelry made with new gold, silver and other precious metals is. The metals are repurposed from other uses, refined and forged into a form a jeweler can work with.
Green jewelry doesn’t just refer to gemstones such as emeralds and jade. Green jewelry reuses gemstones and precious metals to create jewelry that is environmentally and budget friendly. The term “green jewelry” is a recent name for an age-old practice–melting down precious metals and reusing already-mined and cut gemstones to make new jewelry pieces. Any type of jewelry can be green jewelry, from precious metal bracelets to gemstone rings to earrings and necklaces.
Green jewelry prevents further environmental damage incurred in mining precious metals and gemstones by instead using materials that have already been mined and refined. Green jewelry is not only better for the environment, but it is also more economical. By eliminating the costs of mining and refining precious metals and gemstones, green jewelry becomes more affordable. And then as Primestyle.com is a factory all of the savings get passed on to you.
With St. Patrick’s Day around the corner we are all feeling a little Irish and loving all the green around us. Which also means, what better time to join the fun and add some green accessories to your style?
And of course with green jewelry come emeralds! Emeralds are rare gems that are best known for their rich green color. You can find about any type of jewelry with emeralds, such as rings, necklaces, earrings, and bracelets. They are always a fun choice during this time if you find the right jewelry piece.
Many celebrities have stopped the world with their over the top green accessories. In recent news, Oscar nominee, Viola Davis, styled her already green gala dress with large but classy teardrop emerald earrings.
Elizabeth Taylor continues to mesmerize the world with her gorgeous princess like jewelry. Among her iconic jewelry collection guess what we found… diamond and green, emerald earrings!
Our favorite Spice Girl, Victoria Beckham, wore a large emerald, cocktail ring to the Oscar’s after party. This accessory was the right color pop to her pale grey dress. Ladies learn from this fashion icon and add some color to your even more discrete outfits.
Taylor, who turns 22 this December, won three awards last night: Favorite Female Country Artist, Favorite Country Album, and biggest of all, Entertainer of the Year (beating out Adele, Lady Gage, Lil Wayne and Katy Perry!). We’d like to award Taylor one more – Best Jewelry of the Night.
Big-screen goddess, Angelina Jolie, stole the show at the 2009 Oscars when she sauntered down the red carpet in a super simple black Elie Saab gown and oversized Lorraine Schwartz emerald earrings. The teardrop emerald stunners are worth a reported $2.5 million. The publicity Jolie received from her show of red carpet perfection was priceless.
