Buy Your Baubles Responsibly
Date: October 14, 2008 | Category: Accessories, Fashion, Featured, Jewelry
The holidays are fast approaching and – just admit it – you are already scribbling out your Christmas and Hanukkah lists. If you plan to ask Santa (or your parents or S.O.) for some bling this year, check out the eco-friendly designs by Bario-Neal.
Bario-Neal jewelry is handcrafted in Philadelphia using reclaimed precious metals (like the Gale bracelet, above, which retails for $225), ethically-sourced stones from the Tanzania Women Miner Association and low-impact, environmentally conscious practices. And, 1 percent of all Bario-Neal profits is donated to the Alliance for Responsible Mining, a global initiative to bring transparency and fair trade practices to small-scale mining.
Diamonds may be a girl’s best friend, but girls should be a friend to the miners and mother earth too!
