Diamonds are forever…at least that’s what they say! But diamonds are expensive and I don’t have a lot of opportunities to go to situations where I’d need jewelry that fancy. Jewelry, is a very personal gift…every woman has their preferences. I, for one, prefer white gold and silver as opposed to yellow gold. I like petite pieces, since I’m a relatively small person (when I’m not pregnant that is). I also like colored stones that are ornate and distinct.
I was recently introduced to a gorgeous, fair-trade, sustainable, hand-made line of jewelry by Rebekah Green. The line was “inspired by her love of clean, sophisticated design and features hundreds of variations on six unique design types of the highest quality offered at the most economical price points.” Each piece is hand-cast, hand-set, and hand-polished. Rebekah’s line features six unique earring design types including studs, leverback drops, dangling leverbacks, hoops, chandeliers, and children’s studs.
I received a pair of gorgeous yellow gold hoops with cubic zirconia and blue gemstone accents and a pair of kid’s Blue Belly Spider 14 K Yellow Gold studs. Both pairs are elegant, dainty, and feminine (which is exactly how I like earrings) and they look great with casual and more formal attire. Versatility is key since jewelry is expensive and I don’t have a lot of it! I can’t wear heavy earrings for very long and I appreciate how lightweight they are. I also like that they don’t detract away from other jewelry (i.e. necklaces, etc.).
I don’t wear a lot of “costume” jewelry because my skin is very sensitive and tends to react during wear time. Because she uses gold, I found that my skin didn’t react while wearing the earrings (which is more common when I wear “fake” jewelry).
Rebekah Green uses 100 percent recycled 14K and 18K gold and fair trade gemstones throughout the entire line. All of her designs are delicate and lightweight to ensure responsible use of natural resources. She even goes so far as to ensure that product labeling is instantly biodegradable and plantable (now that’s green!).
Rebekah Green’s line of earrings include hoops, studs, chandeliers, and drops. She even has a line for children. You can customize the type of gold you’d like (white, yellow, rose), specify whether you’d like 14 or 18 K gold, and choose the size of the stones (cubic zirconia and fair trade gemstones). Earrings are sold exclusively online and prices range from $20 to $200 (and up).
Right now, Rebekah Green is holding a voter-based jewelry design competition that will allow customers to upload their own design sketches for a chance to win the real thing. The designer whose design receives the most votes within a two-week period will win a free pair of his or her earring creations, and the winning design will be made available for purchase online (two winners will be named per month). Look for details on the site.

Love those spider earings. Not your typical run of the mill earings. I like that. It’s very attractive. Even better that they use responsible materials. I didn’t know gold was something that is now labeled as recycled. I guess everything is going that way. makes sense.
