What socially conscious fashionista has not entertained ideas of how she can go green while still looking impeccably chic.
Selita Ebanks and Karolina Kurkova
Ruff&Cut, a new jewelry company, uses recycled gold and conflict-free diamonds from Sierra Leone, to create eco chic baubles by designers Me&Ro, Tracy Matthews and Todd Reed.
A percentage of the company’s revenue and profits will go to non-profit and non-governmental organizations that work to better working conditions in the mining communities from which the jewelry is sourced such as Shine on Sierra Leone.
The ethically driven jeweler is already attracting a celebrity following including Victoria Secret models Selita Ebanks and Karolina Kurkova, who have been spotted sporting pieces from the Tracy Matthews Designs collection.
Medallion pendant (seen on Selita Ebanks) features a 2.5K rough diamond with a recycled gold pendant, $9,700.
Medallion bracelet (seen on Karolina Kurkova) comprised of 7 recycled 18K gold medallions with ethically sourced rough diamonds from Sierra Leone, $9,500.
Find the collection at ruffandcut.com, with prices ranging from $250-$22,000.
