Christine J. Brandt

Necklace

Why It's Good:

Multicultural designer Christine Brandt fashions these stunning pieces of jewelry from handcarved wood, adding semi-precious stones and minerals in their natural state. The result is nothing short of breathtaking—and brings new definition to the term "wearable art."

Why It's Green:

The wood is unvarnished and unstained, getting its luster instead from several layers of Danish oils, rubbed in by hand to bring out the natural grain and colors. Each piece is handcrafted.
