Eco friedly silver jewellery from Glass Wing Jewellery

At Corazon Latino we pride ourselves on the way we work with our artisans and suppliers. We always operate fair trade principles ensuring all our suppliers are given a fair price for their work and working with them in long term partnerships that gives them security even during difficult times. In return, we have their loyalty and commitment to quality and exclusivity enuring we offer the best and most unique range of silver jewellery out there.

If you want to take jewellery with a conscience one stage further, and go for really environmentally friendly jewellery, then look no further than Sea glass jewellery, and particualrly seaglass jewellery from Glass Wing Jewellery. Seaglass is glass dating back anywhere from the 1960's to the 19th century that was dumped and found it's way into the sea where it has been weathered and eroded by the action of the waves, eventually washing up on our beaches as smooth, brilliantly coloured frosted glass pebbles. These are now much sought after by avid collectors, with rare colours fetching hundreds of pounds. Many pieces are now turned into the ultimate in recycled jewellery.

One of my favourites designers currently working with sea glass is Cornwall based, Kate Laity. Not only is she useing lovely glass, she also has some really interesting contemprary designs. Her jewellery is great value and she will make bespoke pieces to order. For the ultimate in eco-friendly jewellery, check out her recycled silver rings. More expensive than newly smelted silver, recycled silver comes from old pieces of silverware and silver jewellery that have been melted down and re-smelted into ingots for reuse. her lovely chunky silver bands would be the perfect choice for an environmentally friendly wedding.

All of Kate's jewellery is beutifully packed in recycled packaging and shipped free within the UK. Interntaionla orders are also catered for.

So if you are looking for a unqiue piece of handmade silver jewellery with true eco credentials, then this is the stuff for you.
