While most jewelry lines focus on the aesthetics and appeal of its pieces, the 'While They Await Extinction' collection is dedicated to the message of making conscious decisions as humans.
Designed by Hanna Hedman, the jewelry from the line is insanely intricate in its design and creation of new life forms. The necklaces from the collection fuse images of extinct or endangered animals and plants which are then connected to jewels. According to Hedman, the jewels are "a commentary on the responsibility that we as humans hold." By calling attention to this responsibility, Hedman hopes to ignite an awareness that will produce more eco-conscious decisions.
Wear an environmentally friendly emblem on your neck with the pieces from While They Await Extinction.
