In the past, a lot of talk and controversy has taken place about the ethics of the jewelry industry. From the sale of diamonds that helped fund brutal military activity, to the destruction of natural habitats in order to mine precious metals and stones. Finally in the past several years, our society has started to care enough about these issues that it has actually become profitable for jewelry and watch companies to adopt more eco-friendly and socially responsible manufacturing methods.
DeMaria is an Italian jewellery company that has partnered with Amnesty International to bring a beautiful collection highlighting the importance of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The sales of the Human Rights pieces benefit Amnesty International and their humanitarian work. The jewelry is made in Italy out of silver and each piece is inscribed with an excerpt from the Declaration of Human Rights.
The rings are beautiful and will surely inspire people to ask questions. The owner of these pieces is not only contributing financially to the cause, but also spreading knowledge about Amnesty International's work.
Visit DeMaria's website for more information, and keep an eye on MattBaily.ca. We will soon add this new brand to our site. Visit Amnesty International's website for more information about their cause.

The other day I chanced upon a broadcast of singer Pink on Much Music's Live @ Much. Pink (officially P!nk) definitely has her own style and, while always fashionable and well put together, she is never mainstream and mundane. 'Loud' would be a good adjective to describe her style. For this reason, I was not surprised to see that the celebrity was wearing jewelry from the new Rebecca collections. The most prominent pieces were the wide Ellise bangle bracelet, and the huge and sexy Roma ring embedded with clear rock crystal gems.

The Rebecca Three-Stone Ring

This past fall saw the arrival of several new designer jewelry brands at Matt Baily. All the pieces that came in, hand picked by Matt, are of the highest quality and with exquisite design. One ring, however, stole the show. The St. Tropez Three-stone ring by Rebecca caught the eye of women from every age group and of varying styles. It's not hard to see why.
The first thing that is noticeable from the Entire St.Tropez collection is the size. Big rings, big stones, big charms. What distinguishes the three-stone ring is that the three stones break up the ring so it looks somewhere between one big ring and three smaller rings.
Their imaginative and very fashionable designs, coupled with a high quality to price ratio, has made Rebecca into an award-winning brand. The pieces are made entirely in Italy, with a large part of the work done by hand. The prices do not reflect this. The St. Tropez Three-Stone Ring is $395, while the line starts at about $55.
