| Jewelry Grade Sea Glas |
This is far different from jewelry made from manufactured or mined goods. Jewelry in history. The costs to the earth of mining diamonds, as just one example, is tremendous.
Eco Friendly Jewelry
Of course, we can't shop or buy our way to global sustainability. However, wherever possible, it is a pleasure to feel we are doing our part to help the environment.
Eco and Recycled Jewelry
Eco friendly jewelry or green jewelry appeals to consumers who are becoming more aware of the need to protect the environment. And those of us who spend a lot of time outdoors on the shores of lakes and oceans really know first-hand the effects that mass-produced consumer goods can have on the ecology.On the other hand, fine jewelry is not going to go away. It has been a part of every known culture in man's history on this planet.
However, we can each feel good (and look good) while changing the origin of at least part of the jewelry we wear – in other words, wearing eco jewelry; environmentally friendly, "green" jewelry.
"For me, I guess the most incredible thing with using sea glass for repurposed or upcycled jewelry is the fact that nature has taken man's junk and converted it into something so beautiful, something that even man has a hard time duplicating.
"I get a kick out of thinking that nature has gotten a one-up on man for a change. Makes you wonder if man would just stop mucking up the environment what nature could do if let alone.
"Even though jewelry is small when you compare it to some of the beautiful sculptures, wall hangings, et cetera, that other artists are creating with "found" junk, I kind of feel like at least we've made a very small contribution in being "green" in recycling sea glass."

Now, I will compete in the Regional Science Fair which will take place on Feb 2nd. My mom and dad and I had a lot of fun searching for sea glass.
Thanks,”
