ALL ABOUT CORK
Why do I love cork jewelry? Let me count the ways …
Cork is …
• A 100% natural material
• Eco-Friendly, Renewable, Sustainable
• Water-resistant
• Stain-resistant
• Flame-resistant
• Lightweight
• Strong, durable
• 100% Cruelty-free
• PETA approved vegan
• BEAUTIFUL!
And, cork jewelry is a conversation starter!
In 2018, I returned to Portugal after 30+ years, and fell in love with the country all over again. I wasn’t designing and creating jewelry 30+ years ago, but designing and creating with cork was all I could think about on my return trip in 2018. Leather bracelets are super-popular right now, I thought. Why not create jewelry with eco-friendly, renewable, sustainable cork?
Check out this photo of a cork oak tree! Yes … this is where cork comes from: the bark of a tree. It’s harvested every 9-10 years. When the bark of the cork oak is stripped, the tree can better absorb carbon dioxide, so it’s good for the tree and good for the environment!
I import my cork cord from Portugal, home to one-third of the world’s cork forests. If animal-cruelty, sustainability, and natural, recyclable materials are important to you, then you’ll love cork jewelry.
One of my best-selling cork pieces is a simple design with a magnetic clasp and a slider charm. They make great gifts! Moms and grand moms purchase multiples for their daughters and granddaughters. Check out those cork bracelets along with new designs here.
Bracelet Sizes
In most bracelet descriptions, I indicate how to choose your size. Please take a look at the bracelet sizing guide to determine how to measure your wrist.
Try cork jewelry … I think you’ll love it!
