Jewellog.com launches its collection of handmade jewelry art wear by local and international artists

Feb. 9, 2011 - PRLog -- One-of-a-kind, striking, green, fair trade, are all words that are at the core of Jewellog's current collection of handmade jewelry. Instead of settling for the mainstream source channels of handmade jewelry, Jewellog has made a concerted effort to source their jewelry from responsible suppliers, mostly those who are fair trade certified. The other major effort in sourcing has been to also celebrate jewelry that has been created first as a work of art, and second as art wear.
Jewellog.com's handmade jewelry collections include:

-  Orb Series - This luxurious collection of art wear includes pendants and earrings made of kiln-fused glass by Master Dolores Barrett. They were inspired by the Roman Pantheon, where a prominent oculus in the ceiling lets light penetrate.
- Sea Glass - The glass is shaped by the sea and it's found in the beaches of California. Artisans in Bali frame the sea glass in recycled .925 silver, creating beautiful art wear such as necklaces, earrings, and rings.

- Eco-carvings - Using wood that is left over from an FSC (Forest Stewardship Certified) furniture manufacturer in Nicaragua, artisans make sculptural jewelry that is artsy, one-of-a-kind, and environmentally conscious.

- Atacama - Fairly traded from Chile, this collection of handmade jewelry features unusual and affordable metals like copper and aluminum. The artists work striking designs into the metals, creating very fashionable pieces that celebrate a remote but now very famous region in South America.

Jewellog.com (http://www.jewellog.com) will be rolling out new handmade jewelry collections that focus on their ongoing mission to support environmentally responsible and inspired jewelry artists locally and around the world. The jewelry selected to be sold in their website is hand-picked and voted on by a group of experts that includes jewelry makers, fashion designers, sculptors, painters, environmental scientists, biologists, doctors, and entrepreneurs; but ultimately, their customers have the last word on what goes and stays. Jewellog conducts frequent surveys with their target market to gauge what customers want and the latest trends in handmade jewelry art wear. Visit http://www.jewellog.com for details.
