As a jewelry designer who works to create pieces with sustainability in my mind, I love to support other companies and artisans that make eco-friendly jewelry.
The following eco-friendly jewelry brands use a combination of recycled and reclaimed materials, gemstones that are mined ethically, and mindful packaging to bring you beautifully crafted sustainable jewelry that you are sure to love!

What’s your favorite eco-friendly jewelry brand?
So many pretty earth friendly options and have a great list to go through and check out now. Thanks Bev!! 🙂
I hope you find something you like, Janine!
Was going to say that you better be on that list!
Those last two really impressed me. The silver and blue topaz ring is so gorgeous and I love the way it is photographed. And those recycled rings! I want all the rings.
Haha, yeah, I made sure to sneak myself in there 😉
I love those recycled rings as well. I think it’s so cool that they used old bottles — they even have relationships with local restaurants and such to collect them!
I’m in love with all of it!! You know I’m a huge fan of Linkouture, that’s a given. 🙂
My daughters like to make jewelry out of my old bracelets and necklaces and lately they have been making beads. 🙂
XO
Ah, I love that they are repurposing your old jewelry! What have they been using to make beads?
Well, you are my favorite, of course! But now I have six other tabs open in my browser to check out some other artists!
Hope you see something you like!

Great Blog post on awareness of Eco friendly jewelry brands. I’m the designer at GreenTreeJewelry.com so i definitely have appreciation for this post.
Thank you
Thanks for sharing, Lance! Cute designs, I particularly like the coffee stud earrings 😀
I am starting my own conscious jewellery line over here in Manchester UK with a huge focus on sustainability. It’s so difficult to find manufacturers with an eco friendly policy though! Do you know any great suppliers who use recycled materials? They seem to be like gold dust (pardon the pun!)
We definitely could use more conscious jewelry lines all over the world! I look forward to hearing more about your company 🙂
