or·gan·ic | ȯr-ˈga-nik
adjective
A general term used for jewelry that is made from a living organism (such as pearl), jewelry with floral or plant-like designs, or jewelry that is eco-friendly
In terms of jewelry, ‘organic’ refers to elements made from living organisms rather than metals or stones mined from the ground. The term may also apply to jewelry that includes a number of organic-inspired designs - such as plant life imagery or earth-like shapes. Jewelry may also be considered organic if it is eco-friendly, meaning it is mined in a sustainable way or is lab-made and had less of an impact on the environment. Organic jewelry is designed to be sustainable and to show a connection to the earth and the environment from which the materials were acquired. For those who want to convey these things in what they wear, there are a number of organic and environmentally friendly options available.
