Arcane Angel Necklace

I love how the 19 Moons website writes of this necklace: “Fly through time with this original Steampunk necklace by 19 Moons!”

Cute. I want to, 19 Moons, I do!

This antique jewel watch is set in brass wings and hangs from a elegant vintage cable brass chain. 17 genuine rubies reveal the movements of its mechanical workings. Made from vintage materials, this eco-friendly piece can be your companion throughout time, and that’s something you might need when the world seems like it’s going to pieces around you.

Designer Niffer Desmond’s diverse background spans fifteen years in assemblage art, animation and jewelry design. Based in Pittsburgh, Desmond is inspired by Steampunk, Neo-Victorian and Industrial Design where “anachronistic technology and natural forms are juxtaposed to create creatures and emblems of fantastical realms. ”

“I find inspiration everywhere both in nature and the manmade,” Desmond says. “Organic forms like birds or rocks are on equal footing with perfect circles and squares of type-keys and clocks. Anything that visually sings! I also like the idea of giving old technology new life, appreciating it for its beauty as much as its former function.”

We like how you do all this, too, Niffer. Leave a comment below to be entered to win. For more details go here.

I’ve recently become obsessed with knitted, knotted and voluptuous necklaces like this organic cotton piece by Necklush. Sustainable designer, Lara Miller, recently turned me on to the line and I love what they’re doing joining scarf and necklace into the happy marriage that is…the snecklace.

Necklush is a really fun wardrobe staple that can be manipulated in so many ways: you can twist it, knot it, pull strands out and wrap it or wear it like a scarf or belt.

Go to the site to see the different lengths, thicknesses and colors you can purchase – when not participating in today’s giveaway for a dusty blue with brown printed one. You will want more.

Celebrating their one year anniversary on Etsy this year, we salute Brooklyn designers Troy and Stephano, the designers of Necklush, for their fabric ingenuity and savvy street vibe they’ve given us for the past 52 weeks. We expect another year of creativity from you two, so don’t disappoint.

In the meantime, may the power of the Necklush move you to leave a comment below to enter to win. For official rules and all that jazz, click here.

Listen closely, because this might get confusing. When you buy a pair, you give a pair, and today at EcoSalon you just might win a pair. Got that?

I’ll start again. We’re giving away a TOMS gift card worth $50 toward the purchase of a pair of TOMS shoes.* Leave a comment to be entered.

TOMS Shoes are comfy, co-ed and some of them are vegan. More importantly, the company’s focus is on giving – One for One, to be exact.

For every pair of shoes you purchase, TOMS will give a pair to a child in need. Since 2006, when Blake Mycoskie was inspired to start the company, TOMS has given away over 140,000 pairs of shoes to children in need around the world.

It isn’t easy to move this cynical eco-chick, but the TOMS commitment to kids is quite meaningful and masterful. Mycoskie has inspired others to join his mission, which keeps the message growing“¦far beyond the shoe itself.

I can’t help but feel inspired. Don’t you want to be a part of it too?

Leave a comment to enter the giveaway. One entry per person, the contest ends next Wednesday May 20 at midnight. Good luck!

* When using your gift card, please be mindful that not all TOMS shoes are eco-friendly. Look for the vegan styles here and here, including the Wrap Boot (image above).
