Jewelry produced with natural materials is an alternative that brings us closer to the cultures of our origins; making us connect with the splendid nature. This unique goldsmith allows us to retake original components, highlighting the resources that the earth has given us; For this reason, the innovation of the natural in its color, variety and because it is more accessible, has a very special charm.
Through the years, nature has been imitated a lot in different jewels. However, turning them into something more authentic, through the use of elements such as natural leaves, fruits including pineapple, coconut and different tree barks, allows you to enjoy authentic jewels, emerged from the environment and perfected by the human being.
It is worth noting that in the region of «Jalapao» in Brazil, there is a plant that causes great furor due to its resemblance to gold; whose name is «Golden Capim», known as vegetable gold, with it beautiful jewelry works are made, which leave many speechless, being a unique and exclusive natural material.
However, there are countless natural elements that are at risk of becoming extinct, endangering the environment; such is the case of jewelry made with elephant ivory, coral, shells of snails, turtles, bird and peacock feathers, among others. Both red and pink corals are the ones that have been used most frequently; but one thing that many people do not know is that these beautiful marine jewels are obtained from living beings that are dying at a surprisingly accelerated rate, like thousands of animals, just to please the whims of people.
Also, elephant ivory is considered a highly coveted material in the making of jewelry and ornamental items. But with the excessive commercialization, which is made illegal by the slaughter of these gigantic animals to obtain the valuable component of their fangs, awareness of this delicate situation has begun.
For this reason, the United Nations Organization (UN), is pending so that this barbarism disappears and thus eradicate the terrible threat of the extinction of these wonderful animals. Because if you don’t take action on the matter, the elephant will definitely disappear.
Making jewelry with natural materials shows us a dazzling option to show off something out of the ordinary, without polluting the planet. These garments powerfully attract attention due to their originality; but it is important to take into account that we must respect the various habitats while preserving their original characteristics.
