These re-purposed vinyl cuffs just about embody the very idea of urbanity. Made of damaged or unwanted LP vinyls, these cuffs combine mold together music, jewelry design, and graphic design. Many of the designs often seem to be articulating a unique, polished take on urban life and the sights and patterns to be seen in the city.

I am in Houston , Texas and were looking for \”green conflict free ring\” for my fiancee and found two local companies in Texas http:/www.greenkarat.com and http://www.greenoro.com. I found the prices on Green ORO were much reasonable and i saved $ 300 on the same ring that i would have bought from Green Karat. I highly recommend you to visit Green ORO website or go to their physical location and place your green jewelry order. Another thing i found was green karat operates has no retail outlet or store and mostly work is outsourced where as i personally saw all the processing and model of my Custom Ring at Green ORO retail showroom.
Yes to http://www.GreenOro.com [ Adv: Prices, Local Store, ORO Certificate of Authenticity, One Tree & One Ring at a Time – Great Concept and Cause ]
No to http://www.greenkarat.com [ Higher Prices, No Retail outlet , most of the work is outsourced, no assurance of being True Green once its outsourced to third parties ]
Nice work! Great idea.
This year I got my wife a lovely mizpah charm from http://www.giftavia.com.
Now I know what I will get her next year.
She is crazy in jewelry.
