Each day it's possible to hear the birds singing that little bit louder and with more enthusiasm as it warms up around here. And that leads me to starting thinking of the beach. Sadly as Pixie my foster dog is a terrible traveller, I'll not be able to go to my favourite local beach anytime soon, but I do get to play with my finds stacked up in the studio. Here's a recent listing in my Etsy shop - a rock pool pendant I made from a limpet ring and featuring bright pink and dark purple seaweed and pretty micro shells encased in eco-friendly resin. Available at The Creaking Door. . . . #limpetring #limpetshellnecklace #rockpools #rockpoolpendant #limpetshell #ecofriendlyjewelry #sustainablejewelry #pressedseaweed #periwinkle #clamshell #urchinshell #ecofriendlyresin #britishbeaches #seaweed #seaweedart #beachnecklace #surfnecklace https://www.instagram.com/p/CqBFkdfoLZ8/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Lab-grown jewelry, also known as cultured or synthetic jewelry, refers to jewelry pieces created using lab-grown gemstones or precious metals. This modern approach to jewelry-making offers several advantages over traditional mined materials:
Ethical Sourcing: Lab-grown jewelry eliminates the environmental and social issues associated with traditional mining practices, such as habitat destruction, pollution, and unethical labor practices.
Conflict-Free: Since lab-grown gemstones are created in controlled environments, they are guaranteed to be free from the conflicts often associated with the mining of natural gemstones, such as "blood diamonds."
Consistency: Lab-grown gemstones can be produced with consistent quality, color, and clarity, allowing jewelers to create pieces with uniformity that may be challenging to achieve with natural gemstones.
Cost-Effectiveness: While initially lab-grown gemstones may have been expensive to produce, advancements in technology have reduced production costs, making them more affordable compared to their natural counterparts.
Environmental Impact: The process of growing gemstones in a lab typically requires less energy and produces fewer emissions compared to mining operations, reducing the overall environmental impact.
Innovation and Customization: Lab-grown gemstones can be produced in a variety of colors and shapes, offering jewelers and consumers more options for customization and innovation in design.
Durability: Lab-grown gemstones often exhibit the same physical and chemical properties as natural gemstones, making them durable and suitable for everyday wear.
Rare Gemstones: Some gemstones that are rare or difficult to find in nature can be produced in a lab, allowing consumers access to unique stones that may not be readily available otherwise.
Overall, lab-grown jewelry presents a sustainable and ethical alternative to traditional mined jewelry, appealing to consumers who prioritize environmental and social responsibility without compromising on quality or aesthetics. #https://www.jbrjeweler.com/
A little Thuja plicata (red cedar) pendant with moss quartz. I love how it looks like real moss captured in the stone 🌲
