Earth Friendly Etsy Giveaway: Polarity Recycled Locket

I love jewelry, especially when it is jewelry that is made from upcyling something else. I think that anytime we can take something that no longer works, is old or worn out and make it into something new, is fabulous. You can find some of the most unique and funky jewelry finds when the artist is working with upcycled materials. Almost always you will find that their jewelry is like nothing you have seen before and you won’t see anyone else wearing the exact same piece.

Recently, I found Polarity and this fabulous jewelry company does just that, takes someone old and makes something fabulous. Polarity is a jewelry company owned by a mom named Catherine Ivins and is located on the Jersey Shore. Catherine makes fabulous necklaces from recycled auto parts. The necklaces have magnetic design lids that are interchangeable. This gives you a necklace that can be made into many different necklaces.

Catherine uses repurposed and sustainable materials in unique and beautiful ways all the while, leaving the smallest possible carbon footprint in her wake. To make her wonderful lockets she uses recycled steel parts because steel has many advantages due to its distinctive environmental fingerprint. Catherine says that more than 1/2 of the steel we see has already been recycled from scrap. It takes at least 60% less energy to produce steel from scrap than it does from iron ore. Waste disposal problems are lessened because steel can be recycled over and over again and it’s magnetic properties make it easier to separate in the waste stream.

Catherine has been so great to offer ONE of my lucky readers a Blackoutwell Locket. (mischievous fox and cat design) These lockets are designed by the very talented artist Amy Blackoutwell. This necklace comes with 3 interchangeable lids. (one of each, a fox, cat and the definition of mischievous) Catherine’s lockets are 1 1/4″ in size, have a 30″ 2mm nickel brass ball chain and 3 different lids.

    A Polarity necklace is next on my list as a gift to myself! i love them all but I think being able to wear a picture of cat is the best idea! So the “YOUR CAT Personalized Recycled Magnetic LOCKET SET” is my favorite. Plus I might even earn myself the coveted nickname “Crazy Cat Lady”!
