Green Jewelry News from Christine Dhein

Christine Dhein produces the Green Jewelry News newsletter - I have been receiving it for a while now and I keep meaning to tell you about it - this seemed the appropriate time.

While we are all celebrating Earth Day we might want to take a look at how we as jewelers can green our studios and purchase goods that are more sustainable.

Each issue looks at new topics - the Earth Day issue included:
Tips from Our Readers
Responsible Jewellery Council
Successful Students Set Green Jewelry Goals
Sustainable Jewelry Raises Funds for Charity

Feature Article in ArtJewelry Magazine: Read Christine's latest article on green studio practices, Your Studio: Making Eco-Friendly Choices, in the May, 2009 issue of Art Jewelry magazine. Download a chart of 12 less toxic chemicals you can use for making jewelry.

Christine Dhein is a jewelry designer, author, and eco-educator who has been using recycled materials for over ten years.

Christine's jewelry can be purchased online at objectfetish.com.
