I feel you. It can be tough to qualify eco-friendly or natural in the jewelry sector, sometimes. You will always be torn between the metal components of some pieces, and yet it’s impossible to create them sans the metal. Being in almost the same position as you, I’d like to think that yes, women like us are making an impact – -not just in reducing Earth’s waste, but also in promoting the awareness about eco-friendly fashion, and how any one can contribute to it. 🙂
