Sustainable Fashion with Sustainable Jewelry!

When i started painting the glass bottles it gave me a lot of scope to display my creativity in terms of art, but the thirst to do more and take this a step further, pushed me to get into making sustainable fashion jewelry. In the beginning it seemed like a craft project where a few paper sheets are rolled and made into beads. And i must confess it was not seeming pretty or interesting, knowing the fact that the market is flooded with beautiful imitation and junk jewelry at very affordable prices.

Fashion jewelry or a colloquial term junk jewelry is something that changes with time and is more of a fad. To be a sustainable jewelry designer and to create pieces which can stand equal or a greater chance to be noticed required something extra.

I had to think on various parameters like

1. Durability

2. Cost

3. Time required to make

4. Designs

Of course handmade holds a special place but when it is paper jewelry it has to pass the test of durability to be counted as one of the most sought after pieces to have.

With years of patience practice failures and successes i came up with my designs which can stand out and are as durable as any other metal jewelry in the market. Of course a few tips to take some care of jewelry is definitely stated to the buyer but overall its a practical jewelry choice and is very unique!

I am sharing the pictures of few of my jewelry pieces that i have made.

The cylindrical beads in green, pink and postage stamp are all made of waste paper and combined with ceramic beads to finish the look.

Do share your feedback on this post and i shall soon be back with a new post.

Thank you readers!
