Michelle: First Lady of Fashion

April 21st, 2010 · No Comments · Environment, Fashion & Style

The bracelets and bangles that First Lady Michelle Obama was seen wearing when she traveled to Mexico last week were actually eco-friendly, sustainable jewels made by Monique Pean.
According to the blog this dish is veg:

“Pean’s pieces–considered “wearable art”–are created from 100% recycled gold supporting her belief that jewelry producers should reduce the demand for “dirty mining” of precious metals. Additionally each gem stone used in her creations was obtained through free-trade and are devastation and conflict free”.

Pean donates ten percent of her profits to provide clean water wells in developing countries or to support Alaska Native art.
Mrs. Obama also wore a necklace by Pean with a white suit during an appointment of hers, later last week:
The necklace was made from found fossilized woolly mammoth ivory. Amazing.
