(3BLMedia/theCSRfeed) Oakland, CA - April 20, 2010 - Sulusso.com is proud to announce that it will now carry Meghan Connolly Haupt jewelry. Meghan is a pioneer of sustainable fine jewelry who creates beautiful, finely crafted jewelry that has the smallest degree of social and environmental impact possible while aesthetically meeting the highest design standards of luxury.

Meghan's simple, classic and sophisticated designs often allow for the unexpected. As examples, the Infinity Toggle Necklace incorporates a diamond toggle closure rather than a clasp, and the Reveal Earrings have a slight torque to expose the internal row of pave-set Australian blue sapphires. The Asymmetrical Necklace can be worn vertically or horizontally, while the Diamond Line Earrings can be worn long or short to best complement a look.

Meghan has already attracted the attention of Hollywood, with actors Ed Begley, Jr. and his wife Rachelle Carson-Begley signing on as spokespersons. While Ed is more drawn to the unparalleled environmental responsibility Meghan Connolly Haupt offers, Rachelle is enamored of the designs. “I love that the jewelry doesn’t look sustainable, and knowing that there is minimal social and environmental impact associated with the diamonds makes them that much more brilliant,” said Rachelle.

Each piece of jewelry under the Meghan Connolly Haupt brand is handmade in Oakland, CA from 100% reclaimed precious metals and ethically sourced gems. In most cases, the gems can be traced from mine to market and are third-party certified. Moreover, the jewelry tells a positive story of empowerment, commitment and respect - while being both alluring and fashionable.

“I really wanted to redefine luxury,” said Meghan. “It just seemed crazy to me that you could find sustainable jewelry made from hemp and glass and you could of course find fine jewelry, but that you couldn’t find high quality, sustainable designer jewelry. It’s time someone stepped up to offer uncompromising design and luxury.”
