We love this unique Ring Bearer Bowl™ from Paloma’s Nest.   You can customize the little white ceramic bowl with a special wording, a scripture verse, a line from a poem or simply your names and wedding date.  Each bowl measures 3.5 inches in diameter and will fit perfectly into the hand of your ring bearer.  It  comes with a silky cotton cord laced through two holes near the top rim to safely hold your rings during the ceremony.  You may chose to replace the cord with a ribbon to coordinate with your wedding colors.

We think this would make a perfect heirloom that could be passed to your children or other family members.

Wedding rings may be an outward symbol of your love for your future spouse, unfortunately, industrial methods used in extracting the precious metals and gems for your ring from the earth can endanger the land and upset ecosystems!

The goal at greenKarat is not to discourage the use of jewelry, but rather to end destructive gold and diamond mining by changing people’s consumption patterns.

Their mission is to provide an ecologically and socially responsible jewelry alternative to those who seek change. As in other recycling, changing consumer ‘waste’ habits is important to solving the gold problem.

Everyone has broken necklaces, bracelets and that “one” earring laying around in their jewelry box – you can collect used pieces of gold from your friends and loved ones to be recycled into your wedding rings. greenKarat will fashion your rings from the gold that you send to them. If you don’t have enough gold for your rings, you can purchase more from them. If you have too much for your rings, they will give you credit towards future purchases, or you may donate it for others to use.

Just think of the special significance your wedding ring will hold for you, knowing that it was made from your friends’ treasures!
