I just heard about eco friendly gold and am wondering what is this all about. Melt old gold, recycle it and get a new piece of jewelry out from it? Probably!

After reading more about it, I am right about the recycled gold and the company takes a step further by doing its part in being socially responsible. With more jewelry designers catching on the eco friendly movement, more are recycling metals and turning them into creative jewelry pieces. This is indeed not a new trade or practice but it’s certainly a growing industry for those who want to play their part in being kind to the environment without sacrificing on style. Perhaps you too can be eco friendly and request for your loose diamonds to be set on recycled gold the next time you want a new piece of jewelry.

So that’s one gift ideas for Valentine’s day. Otherwise, there are lots of ideas you can peek from our Eco Natural Store for that special someone.

Eco friendly gifts are great in my opinion cos they can educate others and encourage them to be more environmentally friendly.

Kayu Bamboo Sunglasses
$180.00
My sister has been a great fan of sunglasses so as I thought about getting her a gift, I know a pair of eco-friendly bamboo sunglasses would bring much delight to her. As I checked around the web, I came across a beautiful pair of Kayu Bamboo Sunglasses. Handcrafted by Kayu artisans, it features oversized lenses framed elegantly with bamboo and crafted in Rawa style. Kayu’s founder, Jamie Lim, was brought up with a unique, contrasting environment of Eastern and Western aesthetic, and great richness and poverty. Jamie set out to create a line of ecological and ethical line of accessories after being inspired by the natural beauty around her. It is insightful to learn that bamboo grows twice as fast as a tree, and restores itself in just five years. This, coupled with its ability to grow naturally without pesticide or fertilizer, make it a sustainable and eco-friendly material. This pair of Kayu Bamboo Sunglasses will be great for my sister for her upcoming orlando vacations and this eco gift will start her right on the awareness of the environment.

I’ll be highlighting more eco friendly gifts for the Christmas season so look out for them!
