On the occasion of World
Environment Day, our company has called vendors to set up a few stalls inside the campus. There
were stalls of plants, solar heaters, jewellery and Tupperware. I did not
understand why Tupperware would be considered environment friendly, but it was there. Among all
the stalls, I was fascinated by the jewellery stall (being a woman that should
not come as a surprise). The woman at the stall was selling jewellery made with
rice grains. They were pretty and did not look delicate at all. The jewellery is
perfectly recyclable. After you are done wearing it you can eat it if you are
hungry. That got me thinking what kind of recyclable jewellery is out there.
The website, ‘mode’ had a few DIY
projects of food based jewellery. I loved this simple necklace made of
pistachio shells.

There were also earrings made of
pasta on the same website. Wearing pasta earrings would look kind of weird.
My
search for recyclable fashion
led me to these earrings made of coffee beans. As the day progresses,
you can eat the coffee bean and get instant caffeine kick.

Someday I will be brave enough to
wear the edible jewellery and not eat it
I would not mind wearing these
bracelets. They look pretty. I hope that they
are not as delicate as they look.

The caps and brooches made by Sara
Breakfield using the objects found during nature hikes are stunning and
attractive.

Raw fashion is all around us, waiting to be molded as per the whims of the wearer.
