Earth Friendly Etsy: 19 Moons

March 26, 2010 33
There are two types of jewelry that I absolutely love. One is vintage, the other is upcycled. I really love when the two are incorporated to make something fabulous.

Recently, I came across 19 Moons. 19 Moons is an Eco-conscious company owned and operated by Niffer Desmond, a San Francisco native. Niffer creations include unique pieces in Neo–Victorian, Bohemian, Industrial & Steampunk styles. Her work incorporates vintage and recycled pieces to make fabulous Eco-friendly jewelry. You will only find original, unique or limited edition designs when visiting 19 moons. Each piece will have people looking your way and are definitely conversation starters. Niffer’s work includes a mix of sterling silver to plastic and playful to classic.

The line that I find most interesting is the X-Machina line. It is jewelry that incorporates outdated recycled technology. (think typewriters, adding machines, payphones and manuel watches) The aesthetic of this line runs from Industrial to Steampunk.

Niffer is offering ONE of my readers a fabulous Dame Tocke Steampunk Vintage Watch Ring. It is a genuine 1930’s Elgin 19 Ruby watch movement set onto a vintage silver filigree ring. {fabulous using only vintage recycled parts}

Earth Friendly Etsy: Black Star Upcycled Jewelry Giveaway

March 10, 2010 32

Today’s Earth Friendly Etsy giveaway is from Black Star. Black Star is a vintage jewelry store, full of lovely things repurposed into jewelry. The collection includes jewelry with simple colors and lines. Don’t you agree that simple jewelry is fabulous jewelry?

When I asked where the owner of Black Star Katie she finds her inspiration, her answer was simple and sweet – from her garden, her deep love of the sea and the mountain top where her family swims, camps and wanders the woods.

When Katie’s not in her studio, you will find her toting tools and paintbrushes around her latest restoration project, working in the gardens, concocting herbal remedies, whipping up bath and beauty products or floating on her raft at Crystal Lake.

To enter to win a pale pink vintage Lucite rose bead earrings, leave a comment below and:
