Scrap fabric necklace, covering ugly recycled beads. Not all the necklaces will be blue! Driftwood not included.
More designs to follow; the website will hopefully be up and running by April 2007. For further information, keep up to date with the blog or email me.
The majority of our first collection will include fair trade, recycled glass beads and pendants in sea tones, not unlike the glass jewels washed up on the beach. Perfect for surfers and mermaids (but not exclusively so!), the glass looks even better when it's wet and glossy. Many of the designs will be unisex - yes, a range for men too!!
A sea inspired necklace made with fair trade, recycled glass beads and other charity shop finds (including the beautiful sea horse).
A new blog is born; my blog by the sea. There's only so long you can write about green and ethical entrepreneurs without jumping in yourself. My great friend and green guru, Christine and I, love all things inspired by the sea. Indeed our homes are full of washed up treasures - we can't get enough of it! We try to buy fairtrade and eco-friendly stuff where possible, but of course, are by no means perfectly green.
We have been making our own jewellery for sometime now and it is often commented upon, so we have decided to 'take the plunge' and make our own jewellery range, inspired by the sea. The materials will be recycled, fairtrade, ethically sourced wherever possible. We aim to be low impact because we are aware more than ever that there is no planet b.
You are welcome to follow us on our journey to create ethical treasures. We may sell online and locally by Summer 2007.
