New Collections in Glittering Conscience!

We are brainstorming at Ruff&Cut and Glittering Conscience every day lately. The holidays are coming very soon and we are stocking up on the best selection of green gifts you can find in New York. Some things we are working on for R&C are a collection of crystal skull cufflinks (more info coming soon!) and more pieces in recycled silver and with ethically sourced gemstones.

At GC, we recently received a remarkable collection of certified recycled sterling silver necklaces, pendants, earrings and bracelets, all made with Harmony SilverTM from Hoover & Strong. The collection includes adorable Mother Nature-inspired designs with flowers and butterflies, as well as medallions inscribed with messages like, "Nurture" and "Rejuvenate".

Here is some more information on the new product:

The NES Group, a leading U.S.-based sterling silver jewelry company, has partnered with Hoover & Strong, a precious metals refiner since 1912, to produce the industry’s first-ever recycled sterling silver jewelry collection. This innovative concept brings jewelry made from recycled Harmony SilverTM to the ultimate consumer for the very first time.

 NES Green, the environmental arm of the NES Group, has made a commitment to reduce the damaging impact that mining precious metals has made on our eco-system for centuries. While creating a beautifully designed, affordable, quality product we have vowed to promote natural resource sustainability by using only recycled silver and recycled packaging and dis- play materials from start to finish.

 We at NES Green are extremely proud to do our part and bring recycled sterling silver jewelry to you first.

Stop by and take a look at these great new designs! They make perfect holiday gifts and are very affordable! The NES Group said they specifically wanted to keep consumers' budgets in mind when pricing the jewelry, and seek to avoid the typical "added costs" when buying "green products" (referenced from NES and Harmony Silver's presentation pamphlet). Prices range from $25-100.

Stay tuned for more R&C silver coming soon, featuring designs from new up-and-comer designer Andre Springer! Plus, are soon to be debuted Crystal Skulls!!
