Lily Charmed: Recycled Silver Bridesmaid Gifts

Lily Charmed is a gorgeous little brand, which makes beautiful jewellery, all with recycled sterling silver. It has nice wedding gifts for bridesmaids, including bracelets, earrings and necklaces.

Store jewellery in pouches to prevent scratches, and avoid wearing in the shower, swimming pool or sauna (and remove when applying lotions or scent).

To clean, soak in a mild solution of lukewarm water and liquid soap (use an old toothbrush to remove stains), then rinse with clean water, and dry with a soft clean cloth.

There is enough gold and silver already mined on earth, to last for eternity. So what’s the point of blowing up mines with dynamite (and making donkeys work in hot weather to transport gold from mines?)

Where to Donate Unwanted Jewellery

Donate odd earrings and broken jewellery (and watches) along with bank notes from any country in a freepost envelope to Animal Free Research UK (they send these off to a partner who recycles the metal to raise funds). Or send to War Paws, which uses funds to help animals caught up in conflicts abroad.
