Leju: beautiful, ethical and elephant friendly jewellery
These delightfully colourful beads are made by LeJu a label that designs and makes jewellery using a seed known as Vegetable Ivory, which is the only 100% sustainable alternative for elephant ivory.
I wasn't aware of it, but apparently there is still a big market for making trinkets out of elephant's tusks. So when you wear this necklace you'll not only look gorgeous, but you can know that you're helping prevent the hunting of elephants. “I work with a product that has a wonderful purpose, which is to help stop the killing of elephants to obtain ivory," says designer Lenny Trines.
The jewellery is high quality but not too pricey: this 'Bubble' necklace costs £55. [Via The Bag Lady]
