Conflict-Free & Eco-Friendly Diamond Rings

If you haven’t already “greened” up every aspect of your life, now is your chance to reform your diamond ring.  These are not only conflict-free diamonds, but they are also made of recycled gold.  There are over a dozen of these rings featured on Fay Cullen, each unique in their own way. Designed to resemble a “Medieval” look, all are crafted with 18k hammered, yellow gold.  All are rough cut, with darker colors…some brown, some gray, some even a shade of green.  Taking into account carat weight and price, these are an amazing deal!  

Whether it is a fashion statement, an eco-conscious movement, or a token of love, these rings are sure to please.

4.35 carats, Price: $2600

3.14 carats, Price: $1950

2.11 carats, Price: $1560

Designer Spotlight: Sarah Perlis

If you ever wanted fine, handmade jewelry then Sarah Perlis is a jewelry designer that you need to check out!  She likes to create jewelry that is eco-conscious, so she melts her own gold in her studio, located in New York City.  Her designs use 18k and 22k gold, gemstones and diamonds.  Sarah Perlis has a popular collection called “In the Rough” which incorporates 22k recycled gold and rough diamonds that have been panned and not mined.  The panning method does not release toxic chemicals into the environment, like how mining often does.

Take a look at my favorites from her collection, which can be ordered from her website.  There are more great pieces to look at on there as well!

Personalized jewelry is fun and quite popular. Whether you get your initial, your significant other’s, or a secret crush’s, this is an all around easy-to-wear necklace. I like how it also comes with a gold heart charm and a tiny diamond charm. This piece is done in 20k gold and is $595. You can also get this necklace without the heart charm, for $435.

This ring is so adorable! Sarah Perlis was definitely thinking outside the box when she created this piece. I never would have thought to attach a gemstone in that way–sort of looks like one flower petal. This ring features a pink sapphire and a rose-cut diamond, in 20k gold. Price: $840

I like this chain necklace because it could be worn in so many different ways. It would look great alone, or layered with other necklaces. Who ever thought a simple chain could make such a bold statement? It is 20k and 18k gold and priced at $480.
