Spotlight on Sustainability: Cork Wildlife Jewelry

Spotlight on Sustainability: Cork Wildlife Jewelry

Featuring an array of wildlife, sealife, and nature-inspired jewelry designs, our latest addition to the wildlife jewelry collection at Wildlife Wonders is a line of elegant yet simple animal jewelry crafted in the USA from sustainable materials. 

The Cork Tree line of nature jewelry by the design company "Sughero" (the Italian word for cork) includes sea turtles, whales, fish, feathers, and other nature-inspired forms crafted in careful detail from sterling silver, stainless steel, and sustainable, recyclable cork. 

Parts of these jewelry pieces are carefully crafted using the bark of the Cork Oak Tree. This bark is harvested on a strict 9-year cycle, promoting healthy growth across the 200+ year lifespan of this valuable, carbon-dioxide-absorbing tree. Cork can be softened and used in cording as an eco-friendly alternative to leather bands and pendant cords.
