Whether a necklace, ring, pin / broach, pair of earrings,
or bracelet (or two!), find your wearable treasure
--Victorian to vintage -- with your favorite stone or pearl and diamonds, gold, platinum, and sterling silver. Vintage
and antique jewelry are not just beautiful choices, but also "green" choices.
Antique, vintage or pre-owned (usually referred to as "estate") jewelry
pieces--or family heirlooms--are the most ecological choice, simply because no
new materials were mined to make them. Diamonds rarely depreciate in value.
Recycled metals reduce the need for destructive mining. According to the
environmental nonprofit WorldWatch Institute, 80 percent of gold mined from the
earth is used for jewelry. Also look for recycled silver, titanium and platinum
and other recycled materials, like glass and leather, used in more casual pieces
Items are gently handled, well cared for estate pieces with only minor age wear unless otherwise noted. Measurements in listing may be approximate.
