Pretty Stud Earrings (from old coffee pods)

Coffee Pod Creations makes jewellery out of old coffee pods, to save them going to landfill. Coffee pod earrings tend to be very light. Even the larger pieces won’t tug at your ear.

Bin all coffee pods, as caffeine in grounds can harm compost bin creatures. Use a sink protector mat, to stop clogged drains.

Why Choose Recycled Jewellery?

Millions of people in England wear jewellery, but most is from gold and silver (newly-mined, when there is enough mined metals on earth, to last for eternity). Mining often uses mercury and cyanide that creates run-ff that destroys aquatic life, and causes floods (harming donkeys who often are the ‘transport’ used near mines). Also choose smartphones made with recycled materials.

Yet there are many artisan brands that make lovely jewellery from recycled metals (or scrap materials like plastic waste). Let’s look at a few good brands to support, these also make lovely zero waste gifts.

Donate broken necklaces or odd earrings to Recycling for Good Causes (list your local animal shelter: they sell the metal and pass on funds). Send unwanted jewellery (and watches) to Animals Asia, where cash raised helps to rescue moon bears.
