Eco Materials used on our eco jewelry designs




Orange Peel

Vitamin C is not just good for your health, it also looks great in jewelry! The peel is carefully cut and roll in the shape desired, dried and then hand painted. The paint used in this process is not toxic.








Coffee


Coffee plants produce clusters of coffee cherries. They become bright red when they are ripped and ready to be picked. The skin of the fruit is bitter but the pulp is sweet. In the center enclosed in a parchment-like envelope the seeds are found. The seeds of these fruits are the coffee beans, which are roasted and then used to prepare coffee or in this case beautiful handcrafted jewelry.








Sea Heart Seeds
The Sea Heart or Congolo is a seed of great size and extraordinary beauty. It is shaped like a heart and a texture that looks plastic or varnished. It belongs to the genus Mucuna and the Fabaceae family. Sea Heart is the seed of a climbing vine, and the seed itself is found inside a pod. In traditional medicine from the indigenous trives the extract of the leaves is used to cure hemorrhoids and the seed is credited to have magical and religious powers; therefore, it is widely used as a good luck charm. 

  

















Corn Grains

We also use corn grains to make our eco-accessories. After they are died and dried the artisan assemble the necklace crocheting through a pre-drilled hole  on the corn grains. 
     Corn grain jewelry is very beautiful, in this sample we have reference "Diana" in hot pink  (left picture) and red (right picture). It is available in other colors as well.

Why Choose Our Eco Friendly Jewelry?

Gold jewelry is obtained by using countless fossil fuels, thousands of gallons of water, cyanide solution and electrolysis.  Our eco jewelry in the other hand uses either recycled metals or renewable ecofriendly resources. We work really hard to limit environmental impact by using renewable resources as much as possible. We strive to be eco-friendly and environmentally responsible without compromising fashion.




Exclusive Goddess will plant a tree per each accessory that we sell. Your trees will help cleanse the air we breathe, reforest depleted lands, fight soil erosion, conserve rainwater, and reduce water runoff and sediment deposit after storms. After your purchase you will receive an email from www.americanforests.org  where it shows the certificate for the trees planted in your name.
For more information about how to plant trees you can visit American Forests.
