Is there a way to combine fashion with global responsibility?  Nugaard Designs believes our generation has to take responsibility for the future of our planet.  But they don’t see a reason to compromise beauty and fashion either!  With that in mind, Nugaard Designs has joined forces with “Trees For The Future” to help keep green things growing on our planet.

Since 1989, “Trees For The Future” (www.Treesftf.org) has been supporting international argo-forestry and reforestation efforts in thousands of communities across the world. 

Nugaard Designs is helping “Trees For The Future” by having a tree planted for every piece of jewelry sold from their FLORA collection (like this insanely beautiful gold leaf necklace), where pieces are makde with real leaves from Brazil dipped in silver and gold.

Nugaard feels this is the “coolest” way to help “cool down” our planet.  So, when you buy one of these leaves, you will be planting that tree too!

The gold used in the leaves is mined in Brasil.

Brasil has amazing gold reserves located around the north and southeast of the country, and mining is a tradition of many generations. The country has very high standards for extracting natural resources to protect the environment, and the government has just recently created an agency dedicated especially to monitor gold mining activities.
