We’re proud to see Palma Collection getting some major print media coverage, this time in Lucky Magazine for the April 2009 issue which is their first ever Eco Style Special, showcasing the best of green fashion, beauty and shopping. Check out pages 176-177 where our Hossada necklace is prominently featured in “The Lucky Guide to the Best of Green Style”.

Lucky Magazine calls Hossada the “PERFECT SUMMER NECKLACE” and says that it’s “All you need to make jeans and a tank fully Jane Birkin glamorous: This cascading, handmade vegetable-ivory choker is from San Diego jewelry company Palma.”

A big ‘Thank You’ is in order for Lucky Magazine for spreading the word about us and we are excited to welcome all of the Lucky Magazine readers who have been visiting our site and inquiring about our jewelry!

Mkokopelli’s writes Palma’s “exotic colors drew her” to the collection. In particular, Palma Collection’s “stunning vividness and unique designs” made quite the impression. However, Mkokopelli is not alone; Chicago Fashion student Lauren states Palma’s pieces are “to die for.” The dkMommy Spot writes that you’ll be “ooh-ing and ah-ing” over the Palma Collection.

How do you go green without sacrificing style?

We all know that Palma Collection is one answer to that question. EcoSalon is defined by that question, believing that style and sustainability belong in the same sentence. They cover fashion, decor, wellness and more with that dedication to a fashionably fun and ethically satisfying lifestyle.

We’re pleased that EcoSalon’s article The Fall and Rise of Eco-Ivory features Palma Collection’s popular Hosthojal necklace and spreads the word about the beauty of tagua and importance of vegetable ivory.

We’re getting some more great reviews – this time from Goodies for Mom. Here’s what they had to say about our Begum necklace:

”The photo really does not do it justice. The earthy feel of this necklace is a definite attention grabber, and I receive several compliments from people the first time I wore it. It is very sturdy when little ones are tugging on it and believe me when I tell you my two year old put it to the test. He was totally enthralled by it and just loved rubbing the smooth surface.”

We were very pleased to see that the Palma Collection Hosono necklace made the list of ”ethical expressions of affection” in the Common Ground magazine Valentine’s Day Gift Guide written by Jessica Ridneour.

”My eye was also caught by Palma Collection jewellery, made from vegetable ivory, dyed in vibrant colours and strung on cotton.”

The necklace pictured in the column article is our Hostina in lime green. It’s also available in several other dazzling colors.

We really liked to reading the interview with KT Tunstall in the magazine feature on her and this choice quote from KT: “The issue of the environment transcends all faiths, all colors, all backgrounds.” – We totally agree and it was awesome to read about KT’s interest in environmental issues.

Special thanks to Leonora Oppenheim the writer at TreeHugger behind this article. From her profile “Leonora is particularly interested in developing sustainable design projects with artisan communities using traditional craft techniques.” With interests like that she’s a perfect match for Palma Collection and this makes her positive feedback ever important to us here at Palma Collection.
