Recycled Jewellery

Recycled jewellery with a personalised touch.

Based in Los Angeles, Laura Elizabeth has created an amazing collection of eco-freindly designs made from semi-precious stones, gold-filled and silver chains.  The collection is simple designs each with a unique twist.  The pieces she has created are all named after female friends and family members who have been important in her life. These names are symbolic of the community and empowerment that her jewellery creates by every woman that chooses to wear a piece.

Amongst my favourite designs are Hope and Jamie.  She has also collaborated with designer Marla Zack to create a pair of earrings called Wings of Courage, made from recycled silver or gold, each pair of earrings can be unique by picking a coloured stone to represent a type of cancer, disease or disorder which can be worn on the earring.  For example, the creator Marla Zack who is a breast cancer survivor has used pink quartz ‘as a symbol of healthy renewal of the delicate beauty of life, and of the strength and power of hope.’

The designs are beautiful, unique and also have meaning behind them.  Laura has gone one step further by donating a portion of sales to environmentally conscious causes.
