How Do I Recycle That? (Jewelry)


Jewelry. We reduce, reuse, recycle Angelenos normally give it to goodwill so at least someone else may enjoy what once hung around our necks or wrists or from our ears.

Now, we can recycle it instead.

Liza Shtromberg, the owner of All Shades of Green, is proud to introduce the new recycling program at her jewelry store on Hillhurst in Los Feliz, Liza Shtromberg Studio.

LS Jewelry will accept any unplated platinum, 10K 14K 18K 22K gold, and sterling silver for recycling at a local plant (where it's melted down so it can be made into some entirely new bling).

There is currently enough mined precious metal in circulation
 to last for decades. 
If we all made a concerted effort to recycle old jewelry, we can avoid draining more of the planet's natural resources.

With the new program you can both give get: The store is offering 100% of the recycling proceeds as a store credit for you. They will absorb the 10% fee charged by the recycling company to give you more rewards for helping do our part to reduce unnecessary strain on Mother Earth.

To get started, simply head into the design studio with the jewelry you no longer wear. They will test the purity of the metal, send the pieces to the recycling plant, and then issue you a store credit upon settlement, (which typically takes about two weeks).


Visit Liza Shtromberg Studio to start recycling your precious metals:
2120 Hillhurst Avenue
Los Angeles, CA 90026
(323) 913-1444
Open 10a.m. -6p.m. Mon- Sat
Sun: 11a.m.-5p.m

Owner Liza Shtromberg


Liza is a well-known member of the Los Feliz/Silver Lake community where she has been designing jewelry for 20 years.


Last year, she turned her eclectic boutique on Rowena, Island LS, into All Shades of Green, a store that demonstrates her commitment to environmental awareness, practice and harmony.

Now, she is studying at the Arava Institute for Environmental Studies in Israel, a groundbreaking school where Jewish, Arab and American students study together on a kibbutz in an atmosphere of peace and cooperation, looking for sustainable answers to environmental problems.

This summer she will bring back all that she's learned there -- from conflict mediation to sustainable development -- to make a difference in Los Angeles.
