Not long ago, I met Barbara and Violette at the Jono Productions Holiday Showcase at Garys Loft in Manhattan. These charming women are the creators of very charming jewelry featuring lots of eco-chic charms. Their company, Nature's Candy Designs offer a range of affordable, silver and gold-plated jewelry items.

The Elements collection starts at just $39.00 per pendant (there are larger, solid, reversible pendants for $89.95, too). These are basically unisex--charms featuring the elements of earth, air, fire and water that can be adapted to fit bracelets and a variety of corded and chain necklaces.


... to personalize your jewelery even more, you can add Swarovski crystal shimmers in the colors of aquamarine, Crystal, Peridot, and Fire Opal
designed symbols are meaningful and personal and are appropriate for men as well as women.

Here I am, wearing one of the elements pendants on a sparkling, silver chain. You can't see it in the photo, but I have a crystal dangle on the chain as well.

Most of the jewelry items fall within the $30-$100 range, making them the perfect gift for a young man or woman who wants wearable jewelry that works with just about everything they own. These well crafted items will become treasured keepsakes.

TIP: The company uses eco-friendly metals. All their jewelry "findings" (clasps, chains,etc) are purchased from vendors who use recycled silver and gold, and who are environmentally responsible. Their production technology utilizes manufacturing processes using fewer resources and products that ultimately contribute less waste and more environmental protection. The Advice sisters like the idea that Natures Candy cares about our Earth, and also exclusively use recycled packaging and materials.
