A.T. Jewelry Earns Backpacker Editor’s Praise

Harpers Ferry, W.V.—An Appalachian Trail-inspired collection of jewelry made from recycled stainless steel by Tarma Designs hit the editor’s page of Backpacker Magazine’s December 2007 issue. In a side note to his regular column, Editor Jonathan Dorn touted the “outdoor-inspired design (read: cool for guys)” and the variety of styles, including necklaces, earrings, a bottle opener, and pendants, before reminding readers that it’s time to start thinking about stocking stuffers.

Tarma Designs is donating $1 for each piece of A.T. jewelry it sells back to the ATC. This isn’t some sort of impersonal corporate connection, by the way: As a four-year-old, Tarma’s Skye George helped his father, Dick, build Dick’s Dome Shelter on the A.T. north of Shenandoah National Park. The Trail’s in his blood (and probably vice versa).
