Giant Jewels {review+giveaway}

Say hi to Giant Jewels, a shop full of beautiful accessories, that are funky and unique, and upcycled!

What is upcycling, exactly? Well, upcycling is the process of converting waste materials or useless products into new materials or products of better quality or a higher environmental value. Making recycling and reusing just a little bit more attractive :) Giant Jewels does just that in the jewelry and fabric cuffs. The metalsmithing is kitchsy and unique, a great gift for you or something you love! Each piece is uniquely yours and you can feel good knowing you're helping the earth too! (How cute is this? And it's my former high school mascot too! Laugh all you want, we were tough :))

These cuffs are FABULOUS! Comfy and stylish, and something you could wear with just about any outfit. Even better, these little puppies are ALL recycled materials -- the fabric, the felt, even the Velcro fastener! The seams and stitches are solid (and kid-proof:)) and really made to last. Angela, the brilliant designer of Giant Jewels, doesn't just create green, she lives it. She is also a member of a local group, Trillium Artisans, a collaborative group that connects artists to their markets... and supports eco-friendly art as well!


And thanks to the wonderful Angela, a lucky reader is going to receive a beautiful fabric cuff from Giant Jewels, just like the picture! How awesome!
