Bee Jeweled
E. Shaw Jewels mother-daughter designers Eva and Elizabeth Shaw create honeycomb rings with diamond pavé in rose, white or yellow gold, inspired by the powerful pollinators in their garden. Twelve percent of sales go to The Honeybee Conservancy, a nonprofit that builds bee habitats and supports research into declining bee populations. $1,050 :: eshawjewels.com
No Lion
The killing of the Zimbabwe lion Cecil drew international attention to the issue of poaching. Snare-wire traps are one method poachers spring on unsuspecting wildlife, but Mulberry Mongoose in Zambia positively repurposes the traps to create fashion jewelry, like this Zimba short leather snare wire necklace. Nonprofits doing on-the-ground work in Africa for wildlife conservation and anti-poaching efforts get $5 of every sale. $48 :: dsenyo.com
