Nettie Kent Cuff Bracelet Giveaway
After studying public art at Hampshire College, mural painting in Mexico and fresco painting in Italy, designer Nettie Kent moved to New York to pursue her interest in community murals. Her years in the New York art world lead her to an interest in metal work and sculpture, and it was after taking a job in a well-known jeweler’s showroom (Jill Platner) that she found her true passion for the art of metalwork.
Now, as a year-rounder on the island of Martha’s Vineyard, jewelry designer Nettie Kent takes inspiration from place but also from her materials, carving forms from wax and hammering mixtures of metals to create unique pieces for jewelry aficionados.
Her ultimate mission? To create eco-conscious jewelry using at least 90% recycled materials in all her pieces. Pretty impressive.
Establishing herself as a designer on the Vineyard in 2008, Nettie has already established a loyal clientele that appreciates her organic forms and unique designs, as well as her ethical approach to jewelry making.
Think this bracelet is great? Check out her other bracelets, earrings, necklaces and rings that incorporate vintage materials, leathers and metals. You’ll be swooning for jewelry like there’s no tomorrow.
But for you there will be and with a bit of luck, you’ll be looking tough (and pretty) in this classic cuff.

I love jewelry that uses recycled material – my favorite right now is a paper bead necklace from Tanzania. These bracelets are eco conscious and it would go with quite a lot in my wardrobe. Thanks for posting!

discarded belt. Lame.

I love bracelets and bangles. With a 10 month old baby determined to ruin all my necklaces and drag my earlobes down when I wear ear-rings, bracelets might be the only jewelry I can possibly wear without serious injury. That is, until he gets his teeth on them
Well, at least this one is eco-friendly

Congratulations to Christina for winning the Nettie Kent cuff giveaway!
Sad you won’t be looking tough in this eco-bling?
Well, just go to her site and get your own (I’m partial to her totally rad button rings).
Again, fear not giveaway lover, we have another all set up for you.
A versatile yet funky top that can be worn many ways, especially when you feel the pulse of disco music…
