New great reclaimed jewelry

Whimsy ring - easy as 1-2-3

The whimsy™ interchangeable bead rings are made entirely of reclaimed sterling silver, 14-karat gold and gemstones. Because mining is one of the dirtiest industries in the world, this is a very thoughtful way of stopping the mining madness (for more information and stats on the incredible environmental devastation wrought by mining, visit www.NoDirtyGold.org)

It is important to note that the sterling silver, 14-karat gold and stones that are used in the production of these rings is not post-industrial waste (used in various manufacturing processes and then sold by large companies) but is actually what is considered “dormant” material. That simply means that the metals/stones have already been mined and are dormant somewhere (think about broken chains or earrings without mates that are sold for scrap). This is an important distinction, because the use of dormant materials does not involve further mining. Also, the use of the glass beads, while a manufactured process, is less invasive than gem mining. So substituting the glass bead for a mined gem is a much more ecologically sound choice.

There's just something exciting about environmentally responsible women's accessories that are actually chic and fashionable...it seems a lot of women have a vision of "organic" clothing and "green" accessories as being unfashionable or screen-printed that it's made from recyclable materials, but this ring screams class much more than "reclaimed and reused." Who knew being "green" could look so fashion-forward?

That sounds like a really good idea and I think more companies should start using this method of reclaimed silver so as to cut down on the demand of mining...
