Moodstone Ring Caught My Eye With this Indie Jewelry Artisan on Etsy!

The Jewelry Pitt may be new to etsy, but is certainly not new to jewelry making! With a degree in Jewelry Design from the Fashion Institute of Technology, they already have experience under their little ole belt!

When I was seaching around etsy the other morning the Rainbow Moodstone Ring caught my eye, so I included it in a treasury that I did that day. But, my interest in the ring didnt just stop with the treasury, I have been looking at the ring just about everyday admiring it. Now, I feel that since I cant wear the ring (chubby fingers) I will share it with everyone here!

The Jewelry Pitt is just starting out on etsy, and still filling up their shop, but you dont want to miss out on this shop. Heart them and stop back often, as they plan to add new designs regularly!

Show off exactly how you feel about animals with this cute little conversation starter!

Bold and blunt this bag will let everyone in the grocery line know exactly how you feel about animals and how they are treated.

Black tote bag with long handles. It is decorated with a poignant collage of pictures and words. The top part shows pictures of dead carcasses with words such as 'slaughter' 'heart disease' anti- meat words. The bottom part has colourful pictures of fruit and veg with words related to veganism and cruely free. In the middle there are pictures of daisies and the wording 'the choice is yours'. A very poignant message in words and pictures. The image is printed onto banner fabric. It is edged with black satin ribbon.

Veganessa also has another shop, Midnight Rabbits(which gives 100% of the stores profits to animal charities), is a member of Vegan Etsy Team, and also participated in our first Vegan Sample Bag!
