Their clothing, accessories and jewelry features the lyrics from some of the most famous rock songs from musicians like the Beatles, Michael Jackson, Madonna and more.

They create unique necklaces and bracelets, using metal and leather, all featuring different song lyrics.  You can get a braided leather necklace with an engraved metal guitar pick or an embossed leather cuff bracelet with a fragment of a song printed on it.

Here are two of my favorite picks:

“All You Need Is Love” hinged cuff bracelet, with black leather and silver-tone letters.  Also available in the multi-set shown belown:

“Give Peace a Chance” bangle bracelet set.  Each bracelet has different fragments from the song, with the center bracelet reading “Give peace a chance” and the two outer bracelets featuring additional lyrics.

Lyric Culture Jewelry

Unfortunately, the rainforest is under increasing danger from loggers, farmers and big business these days.  Huge chunks of forest are being cut down every day – but there is something you can do to help.

“Plant a Billion Trees” is a cooperative effort with the Nature Conservancy to raise funds to reforest the Atlantic forest of Brazil.  The Atlantic forest is one of the most damaged areas of the rainforest – the end goal is to plant a billion (that’s right, a billion) new trees to help repair some of the damage.

The makers of “Brazilets” bracelets have pledged to donate 20% of the profits from the sales of the jewelry to the Billion Trees effort.

So what are Brazilets?

Brazilets are a tradition, dating back more than 200 years.  They’re soft, printed pieces of ribbon that are believed to grant wishes.  You tie one around your wrist, using three knots.  When the ribbon finally wears off, your wish will be granted!

They’re available in a rainbow of colors, either individually or as a “wish pack”.

Plant Trees With Jewelry?

Do you like your jewelry clean, simple and bold?

Then I’d like to suggest jewelry designer Deborah Grivas for your next purchase!

She creates jewelry using simple, faceted fire-polished crystals, put together in some really interesting ways.  Her pieces will work for both day and evening – it just depends on how you wear them.

Check out this great bib necklace – this particular one is “Fall“:

The necklace is made of clusters of crystals, wired together and strung on leather cords, with a gold chain extender to make it adjustable.

Looking for a bracelet?

The “Rock On” stretch bracelets come in a rainbow of different colors, including some great color combinations like the topaz, white, smoke and black shown here.

There are also matching “Rock On” earrings, made from more fire-polished crystal nuggets in lots of different colors.  You can choose either silver-plate or gold-plate ear wires.

Bold & Bright Jewelry from Deborah Grivas

Faceted black stones or crystal jewelry adds an interesting twist to the chunky crystal jewelry that’s popular right now.

This faceted onyx bracelet by Bounkit is an elegant addition to your holiday jewelry wardrobe:

It’s made from faceted black onyx ovals, set into a 24kt gold-plated brass cuff bracelet.  The cuff is hinged for ease of wearing.

At $615.00 US it’s also pretty tough on the budget…

If you need some budget-friendly options, I’ve got a couple.  Of course, you’re not getting 24kt gold or onyx, but some days, that’s okay!

The rhinestone stretch bracelet from Forever 21 comes in at just $8.80.  It features three colors of smoky crystals on a stretch base.

If you’d prefer to stick with black crystals, the expandable tear drop cuff may be the one for you.  It’s also from Forever 21 for $14.80.

Save or Splurge? Black Crystal Bracelets

It’s the online store for Joan Goodman’s line of unique jewelry, with an eye on both style and price.  The jewelry has a clean aesthetic and uses such materials as Italian resin, Swarovski crystals and even natural bone and horn.

As a special treat just for you, PONO is offering a limited-time discount for the next two weeks.  Just enter the code “splend10″ at the checkout to redeem.

Here are some of the lovely goodies that you could apply the discount to:

The faux-amber resin “Kernel” choker in amber.  I love those chunky beads – and because it’s resin, not real amber – it’s a lot easier on the wallet.

The hand-sculpted resin “Suzanne” bangle bracelets.   Each bracelet is hand-sculpted into an organic tapered bangle.

The “Paradox” earrings are hand-made in Italy from wood and then accented with Swarovski crystals.  They’re available in several colors, but I most like the olive green “sea grass” color shown here.
