Last week, we shared a few green gifts you could buy instead of non-eco items. This time around, we'd like to show you some jewelry that'd be ideal for your environmentally aware friend, spouse, or famly member.
What: Green Karat Recycled Titanium Sylph Earrings, $250
Why: Green Karat makes exquisitely hand-carved jewelry that's so lovely we don't really need to mention its green credentials to sell you on it. But we will, because it will really be the icing on the cake for your tree-hugging loved one. All GK products are created from 100% recycled post-consumer materials. We love these modern titanium Sylph Earrings, whose price includes a voluntary carbon offset tax. Or opt for the 18-karat gold Lobe earrings ($175) – a careful and delicate rendition of a natural shape. And Green Karat offers second day shipping, so you're guaranteed to receive in time for the holidays.

I love the Heart and Doves pendant. I 100% believe that we have to recycle to leave a green earth to our future generations and try my best to do my part. They do beautiful work!!!
Green Karat has the worst customer service I have EVER experienced. It is not worth dealing with these people when you are under a ton of wedding stress as it is. These people are communication imbeciles! There are 3 people in this office. Apparently, none of them communicate, and on average they take 72 hours to a week to respond to your emails. I got used to sending the same email to them every day with a littler harsher of a tone until they responded back. Don’t even bother leaving a voicemail, they wont’ call back.
My story: I set up my ring registry, then set up my ring order, and there was no communication between their tiny office about my order/registry. They went ahead and made my rings without the donated gold and were about to ship them before I left an enraged message on their phone after I got an email from them telling me they were done. I had left 3 voicemails prior to discuss my order, and this was the only one they returned. If my family hadn’t already donated to them, I would have cancelled my order on the spot. As of 2 day ago, they said they were starting on my ring now that my donated gold was back from the refinery. Today (as in 2 days later) they say my rings are done. Hmm, funny how they say that it takes 2-3 weeks to create a ring when mine only took 2 days. I just know they didn’t use the gold my family donated and are sending the original one they made without my family’s donation. This puts a horrible cloud over my wedding set. These people are liars and corrupt and give the eco-industry a bad name. Go somewhere else who is honest.
