Most jewelry is from the Earth — silver, gold, diamonds, emeralds…all gifts from nature. But nature provides all kinds of materials that can be made into beautiful jewelry besides those that sparkle. One company had to just look underfoot to find materials for their collection, Knots and Stones. Knots and Stones jewelry is made from seeds found on the rainforest floor in South America — everything from Acai, Tagua (vegetable ivory), Chirilla and other seeds. The result is an eco-friendly collection perfect for the socially-conscious woman on a budget. Now that’s a mouthful and so apropo as even eco and budget conscious women want to look good! You can see the full collection of rings, bracelets and gorgeous necklaces at www.knotsandstones.com
