Eco Style: Have You Ever Heard of Green Bling? You Have Now.

Nothing pulls together an outfit like great jewelry - gold bangles transform an otherwise boring sun dress into a boho glam look, a great necklace punches up even a plain black tank top, and oversized earrings make a 10-second ponytail look like a chic updo. But sometimes when shopping for your next signature piece it's all too easy to forget that metals and jewels are not always mined with the best interests of the environment and local community in mind. Luckily, the trend toward all things green has brought with it a slew of fabulous eco-conscious jewelry designers who work with recycled, vintage, reclaimed, and Fair Trade materials and often donate a portion of sales to worthy charities. So take a look at my slideshow of eco-conscious jewelry - you just might see the green bling of your dreams!
