Pearls commingling with contact lens cases? Pure solid silver paired with milk bottle caps?

Couture jewelry has come a long way since Cartier debuted the Love Bracelet. With all the attention the “green movement” is getting (more than Britney Spears, that’s for sure!), it is not surprising that a few smart jewelry creators have capitalized on the trend.

And beautifully.

Patrizia Iacino has done just that, with her keen eye for the funky.

Sanbitter bottle caps, milk tops and Acqua Panna caps are paired with solid silver medallions to create pieces that Matthew Barney would be proud to display at the Guggenheim.

And for you social butterflies out there, there’s more to protecting the planet than throwing a dinner party with organic hors d’oeuvres. Try wearing the “Eye Triangle with Pearls” necklace or the “Milk Cap” necklace and feel pretty and “green” at the same time.

Prices start from $150 and up, at www.globalcoolo.com
