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 It is jewelry that incorporates outdated recycled technology.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}

    I just LOVE LOVE LOVE the whole concept of this Etsy site! To take the innerworkings of a clock or whatever and turn that into art/jewelry is so original and just too neat. My fav item on the site is 1930s Beetle Mechanique Vintage Watch Ring. I love rings and I love bugs. Great combo! Thanks!

    I really dig those typewriter key cufflinks! Of course, I’m a girl and don’t have any of those fancy shirts that require cufflinks- but they’d still be really fun to have!

    I particularly like the “1930s GOLDEN YEARS Steampunk Vintage Watch Work Ring”.

    I also regret having no shirts that need cufflinks, so I may need to pick up a couple of those some day 🙂

    I love the idea of re-using vintage machines to make beautiful jewelry. I love the Shift Lock necklace. That is something I could wear every day.

    I think my favorite ring is the one that my friend bought me for my birthday (which is why I found the site), but I am also quite fond of the Pied Pier ring, and the type writer key rings! I think if I were to buy one for myself, I’d get the P.P., but the “key rings” would make great gifts!
