Description
Recently Gillie and Marc took a trip to Kenya to see the last three remaining Northern White Rhinos. A rhino is killed every six hours because of its horn. At this rate, all rhino species will be extinct in the wild in less than ten years and the Northern White Rhinos will be lost forever. In China, rhino horn sells for a million dollars. This makes it the most expensive commodity in the world and worth more per ounce than gold, diamonds or heroin. The most tragic part is that rhino horn is literally the same as our fingernails with no medicinal value. Gillie and Marc have raised over $17,000 for rhino conservation. They created this horn pendant because they believe this is the only type of horn anyone should wear. A percentage of profits from all art wear pieces goes towards protecting rhinos.
Artwork Features
Imagine if we could wear our art so close to our souls that we end up embodying its beauty and meaning. Gillie and Marc have always appreciated creative pieces of jewellery, so it was only a matter of time before they decided to think outside the jewellery box and take jewellery to a whole new level by turning it into art wear.
Gillie and Marc’s gorgeous range of art wear is handcrafted from the highest quality of hypoallergenic materials. And as a beautiful bonus, a percentage of profits goes to various notable charities to protect animals in need. So embody your art, and buy jewellery that can change the world forever.
Gillie and Marc’s sterling silver is made of 92.5% pure silver + 7.5% alloys (a mixture of metals: brass, copper and zinc). It is nickel free.
Care Instructions
Clean your silver jewellery with a mild soap and water and then dry with a soft cloth. For more stubborn dirt, use a cleaner designed for silver use. Store your silver in a cool, dry place. Do not rub silver with anything other than a polishing cloth. Tissue paper or paper towels can cause scratches.
