.Our lead designer, award wining Robert Pelliccia, felt spontaneously inspired and started sketching beautiful giraffes, elephants and Zebras that came to life in the form of a bold bangle bracelet. When we added the Namibian diamonds to the bracelet, the purpose of Precious Earth was crystal clear. We are going to raise awareness for the beneficiation programs in of Africa and endangered species around the globe. This 18kt Yellow Gold 1.60tw Africa Animal Bangle from Precious Earth has been made with 100% recycled gold and features the trademark "little green gemstone." This green imperial chrome diopside is envornmentally friendly and conflict free and is placed on all Precious Earth pieces as a reminder to our - and your - commitment to sustaining the enviornment. This "Red Carpet" bangle is a fine work of art, finished on all sides with images of elephants, giraffe, zebra and other African animals. Fine white Namibian conflict-free diamonds add a touch of sparkle with a generous 1.60ctw. The philosophy behind "Precious Earth" is to make jewelry as beautiful on the inside as it is on the outside. By using 100% recycled metals, Precious Earth pieces are of the quality high-end jewelry buyers expect, but without the toll on the environment and local communities that mining for precious metals can take. "There is a small green natural gemstone set inside each piece of jewelry that says you care about the world around you."
