Jewelry is made from moose and deer poop, but there are many sources of coprolite out there, including dinosaur, fish, turtle, crocodile, and shark coprolite. I’ll have to do some research to see if there is any dinosaur poop jewelry (what kid wouldn’t be fascinated by that?) out there. 

What does the Moose poop jewelry look like? It looks like shiny oblong stones. Sort of like a Milk Dude all shined up.  The moose poop is shiny because they coat it with polyurethane after completely drying it out.

This piece was made in honor of Earth Day. The gold chains are all recycled. It measures 17 inches at the longest point and the large Earth-toned bead is 1.25 inches long.

Tropical Breeze II – a bracelet of recycled jewelry
$42

I love the cool silver, blue, green, and aqua tones of this bracelet. It measures 7.75 inches and has a very full, filled-out shape. I bet it makes a nice sound when it moves, those little glasses beads tinkling.

Color of Royalty – a bracelet of recycled jewelry
$42

I was reading just this morning about how hot purple is going to be this fall. This bracelet made from recycled beads and chain would make a perfect accent to any outfit. It measures 7.75 inches in length and has the same full shape as the Tropical Breeze II bracelet. It closes with a toggle clasp.

Don’t forget, each and every jewelry purchase includes matching earrings, so you are really getting two pieces at once, which means you’ll have a very complete look.

Chic: I love the tiny bit of sparkle in these earrings. They’re not totally outrageous, but they’re definitely dressy enough for the holiday season.

Green: These are recycled and not diamonds.

I’d either go for a classy look with pulled-back hair and let these earrings make the statement or go rock and roll all the way with uber-messy hair and let the color tease everyone who looks your way.

These earrings are $18.00 a pair and can be found at BTC Elements.
