Top Five orGLAMic Jewelry Companies

In honor of my birthday (and the fact that orGLAMic.com turned two this month) I want to bring you some of the best jewelry companies – because when in doubt, jewelry always does the trick! Ranging from luxury items to everyday wear, all of these jewelry pieces are eco-conscious, which makes their sparkle even more alluring.

Gemma Redux

Celebrity favorite Gemma Redux combines vintage chains and natural gems for another take on hip, fashion-forward jewelry. If you want to be in the company of Blake Lively, Ginnifer Goodwin, Cameron Diaz, and Molly Sims then this orGLAMic line is for you. But the company also offers custom one-of-a-kind pieces for those of you that would gasp at anything less. The Sophie Bracelet, pictured above, is the perfect orGLAMic accoutrement to an all-white Mikonos-inspired summertime ensemble.

Brilliant Earth

There is no denying it – diamonds are a girl’s best friend. Brilliant Earth allows consumers to build their own rings, earrings, and more, with recycled metals and conflict-free diamonds, assuring that your choices are both eco-friendly and chic. We like to keep it simple here at orGLAMic, so these solitaire diamond studs make our heart flutter, but your imagination is the limit with this responsible jeweler.

Ruff&Cut

Ruff&Cut purchases raw materials from socially responsible sources and each item arrives with a certificate of specific origin. This orGLAMic jewelry company offers a great variety, including a line designed by Hollywood favorites, Me&Ro.  Made of recycled 18-karat gold and diamonds from Pride Diamonds in Sierra Leone, this Boulder Cluster Ring would be a staple in any orGLAMic wardrobe, from office to yacht.

Sid Vintage

For those that want to add a rock-n-roll touch to their wardrobe, Venice-based Sid Vintage jewelry does the trick. Designer Nancy Barrett scours flea markets around the globe and repurposes her finds to create orGLAMic bracelets, earrings, and necklaces that add an edge to any outfit. The chunky bracelet above, from the Cold As Ice collection, gives boring old costume jewelry a run for its money.

Alex and Ani

Made in the United States, Alex and Ani is known for its unique expandable bangles among other intricate pieces. All of the pieces are made using eco-friendly, recycled materials. The Flaunt Expandable Wire Set could be considered upscale bohemian and would look great with any easy, breezy, orGLAMic beach ensemble.
