"A Meaningful Accessory"

As soon as I received this bracelet I put it on and wore it all day. It is very attractive and well made. Knowing that it represents a tiny step toward solving the problem of excess plastic adds to my enjoyment in wearing it. Well done, Millicent!

"I will wear this often."

"Earthy colours, excellent design and proportions"

This is my first necklace which lists recycled plastic as a component and I didnt quite know what to expect. As it turns out, this is a beautiful, high quality necklace with wonderful workmanship and great attention to detail. Love, love, love it.
