Uncommon Goods - Reclaimed Kimono Friendship Bracelets

About 2 years ago my friend Kelli introduced me to the company Uncommon Goods and I have been a big fan ever since. Uncommon Goods sells items mostly made from recycled materials and are handmade. You will find a lot of really great gifts and very unique items. I was reading my Lucky Magazine last month and they had a spotlight on friendship bracelets and I also saw friendship bracelets at Anthropologie but my favorites of friendship bracelets that I found are these ones from Uncommon Goods that are handmade from vintage kimono fabric from the 70s and 80s. I like that they are made from reclaimed fabric and that they are a more grown up version of the friendship bracelets you used to make your friends when you were a kid, making them everyday wearable as a young professional.

Ashley Easton - Hope for Haiti

I think this is the first piece of jewelry I have found that is made using papier mache. Ashley Easton made this environmentally friendly necklace using 100% recycled newspaper and inspiration from the ocean surrounding the Mayan Peninsula of Mexico. 100% of the sales of this necklace will be donated to the Yele Haiti Earthquake Relief Fund.

Wrecords by Monkey - Vinyl Record Cameo Necklace

Using reclaimed vinyl records, Wrecords by Monkey has designed a collection of jewelry that is a mix of urban and rock n' roll. Best known for their bracelet collection, their cameo necklace stopped me in my tracks at the Brooklyn Flea Gifted show. The classic cameo design is redesigned aming it younger and more hip. It's a perfect combination that satisfies both my love of vintage and contemporary jewelry. Not only is the entire collection unique and stylish but it it is also green making Wrecords by Monkey a collection for everyone.
