Smock Paper + Earthworks + YOU= No Dirty Gold!
When shopping for engagements rings and wedding bands, you are likely very concerned about the style and fit of the rings, and maybe even the cost. And yes, all of these things are definitely important, but have you also thought about the practices used to manufacture your ring and the impact of those practices on the environment?
Smock Paper and Earthworks have thought about it, and they’d like to make sure you do too!
From now until April 12th, you can support Earthwork’s No Dirty Gold campaign to stop dirty mining practices that have a severely negative impact on the communities and environments near gold mines. Lending a hand is easy—just click here to “Like” your favorite letterpress wedding invitation design. For each vote, Smock Paper will donate $1 to the No Dirty Gold campaign. As an added bonus, the winning invitation design will be on sale from April 14th- May 14th! So you can save on beautiful invites too!

6 Reasons to Purchase a Do Amore Ring
Two people can receive clean drinking water for life.
Four children can receive healthy meals for one year.
Imagine if your engagement ring and wedding bands could save at least six lives? Well, thanks to Do Amore, they can. When you purchase one of their environmentally-friendly rings, you can choose to either invest in a water well that provides clean water or nutritious meals to families in developing communities worldwide!
Do Amore rings are made with conflict-free diamonds and recycled materials, so they are ethically responsible too. The rings are also priced similarly to other jewelry retailers, proving that doing good does not have to come at a higher price. Same price, much greater impact.
We adore this new way to buy bridal bling!
And as if saving six lives was not reason enough to purchase baubles from Do Amore, here are two more…
- Your rings can be engraved with the number of people helped from your purchase.
- Your engagement ring can be named after an amazing woman whose life was dedicated to serving others.
We already know the rings exchanged between you and your groom-to-be will be given to each other with love. Will you consider giving love to others in need too?

Adornment
Pearls. Color. Some sparkle. Beads.
That’s what adornment is made of!
Bold adornment for the neck, also known as the statement necklace, is an ongoing trend in fashion and it seems that it is here to stay! Brides are taking note, and choosing eye-catching necklaces as the finishing touch to their eco-beautiful aisle style.
So…what’s your style? Are you thinking colored stones? Crystals? Environmentally-friendly diamonds? Maybe vintage?
Whatever you choose, adorn yourself beautifully and boldly for your wedding day!
