14 Eco-Friendly Jewelry Gifts to Make Your Valentine’s Day Sparkle

Lego Heart Necklace

Sure, money can't buy you love, but it sure can purchase some shiny eco-bling to earn you a few brownie points this Valentine's Day. And if you're going to dish out some green, why not spend it on recycled, handmade, and sustainable baubles for your beau? Above, a kitschy-cool heart-shape pendant ($17), made from reclaimed Legos, cheekily alludes to the fact that it takes two to "build" a relationship. Yes, we went there.
