Reclaimed Sterling Silver Jewelry by Julia Failey

Photo credit: Julia FaileyJulia Failey believes in responsible consumption, a conviction that spills into the jewelry designer's work. Handcrafted from reclaimed, deoxidized sterling silver in her Chicago studio, Failey's organically inspired earrings, bracelets, necklaces, and rings reflect her love of nature.

She notes on her Web site:

My jewelry intends to remind us of the subtle beauty that surrounds us and raise awareness of our connections to our environment. I challenge myself to find unique and intriguing ways to reflect intricate details and movements in nature that may otherwise be overlooked.
