SARAH HOOD ORGANIC JEWELRY

Green is glamour for Sarah Hood, whose jewelry “is a constant exploration of the natural world. I hope to showcase the ordinary in extraordinary ways.” Her Organic line of necklaces and rings does just this, transforming the ordinary leaf, seedling, or acorn into an eye-catching piece of living adornment. The Seattle-based jewelry designer collects organic forms that interest her in their form, color, or texture, and turns them into unique pieces of art/jewelry that are fit for a (green) queen.

Sarah says, “My organic jewelry comes from a desire to embrace the impermanence of the natural world around me. Rather than lamenting the transience of life, this jewelry celebrates it, transforming decay into beauty and lyricism, fragility into a strength of purpose.”

well, i cant see how this really is green jewelry when a ring can cost up to $1400! seems like the cost of jewerly is justified by labeling it green. green to me is about reuse, refuse, recyle, reduce, repair.

I gotta call it as I see it. This is gotta be some of the most impractical jewelry I’ve ever seen. Is it actually meant to be worn? Definitely not for day to day use eh?

Beautiful, inspiring designs!
Such mean-spirited comments - what’s so green about complaining?

Not very practical - those Chinese Lanterns are beautiful in a vase, but will break if you wear them around your neck.
