I love looking around online and finding really neat things. I recently came across a site/store that's called Drops of Sun. Here is a little about Drops of Sun (taken from their site):
Eco-Friendly Philosophy:
Drops of Sun Jewelry is handmade from recycled and eco-friendly papers Recycled Banana Bark paper, Bamboo pulp paper, and recycled magazine paper. I began experimenting with these papers as a way to spread the word about making creative changes in our lives to help reduce, reuse and recycle. I believe that we are not powerless individuals in the destiny of our planet-- we all have the power and the responsibility to protect it! We can do this by making eco-friendly choices in what we eat, what we buy, and how we live. Wearing eco-friendly jewelry is one way to tell people proudly that you love this earth that that you make smart choices make it a more harmonious place to live.
The reverse side is reverse colors (white with orange flowers).The necklace looks like it could be kind of heavy but I couldn't believe how light weight it was. I could hardly feel it on me as I was wearing it. Here it is on me:
I was able to pick the chain length that I wanted and I choose 18 inch. The standard that it would come with was 16 inches. I thought it hung just right on me and love wearing it. The variety of colors in the necklace allows me to wear it with a good amount of my shirts. The necklace has a clear coating over top of it making it have a little shin to it. When I wore this necklace it was a great conversation starter! The fact alone that it was made of paper-recycled non the less really intrigued people. Drops of Sun also offers some other great jewelry...here are some more of my favorites:
