Recycled Jewelry You’ll Love

In the world of recycled jewelry, there are a lot of comers and goers. This is because jewelry is often a fickle business that is started by people that are just bored and working out of their homes. This is not the case with all of the jewelry companies out there offering recycled jewelry and you need to make sure that you are buying from a place that has a good reputation. This doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t support local or smaller businesses when you have the chance. It just means that you need to be careful when you’re buying things of this type on the internet. These are just a couple of great ideas that you can look at to see if you’re inspired.

Hand Woven Telephone Wire Earrings

These earrings are made out of the cords from old telephones and they are a very attractive statement to put it mildly. If you are interested in finding something that will really help you to stand out and give you a story to tell at your next function, then you should really consider getting yourself a pair of these. They are a perfect circle, which means they are not very gaudy and won’t draw too much attention to themselves so you can wear them at very classy events if you would like. In the end, these are a great addition to any jewelry collection and they are even hand woven.

Recycled Hardware Earrings

Another pair of great earrings. These are made out of old pieces of mechanical hardware taken from cars, bikes, or anything else with moving parts that need to be held together by nuts and bolts. These tread a very fine line between simple and ostentatious. They dangle down slightly, but not so much that they really draw too much attention to themselves. In all, they are a great way to invest in environmentally friendly jewelry without spending an enormous amount of money. At the very least, you won’t be making it so more gold has to be mined from the ground, leading to more toxic runoff for a simple little earring.
