Pinning Down Cool Jewelry
Date: May 29, 2008 | Category: Fashion, Jewelry
Inhabitat loves Mana, which is no surprise. This eco-friendly jewelry collection features some of the most innovative accessories we’ve seen in a while with Cleopatra-esque necklaces made out of bobby pins and bracelets fit for a mermaid featuring pieces of recycled phone cards laid out like scales. We’re amazed at the way Brazilian designer and multi-media artist Mana Bernardes and her team of teenage and student design protégés have turned garbage into green goods and we can’t wait to see more of their work stateside. Currently, Mana has an ongoing collaboration with TOUCH, an organization that works with and promotes new designers concerned with the health of the planet and their workers.
