recycled bottlecaps

From the North Shore of Oahu come these colorful earrings created from recycled bottlecaps. (even though earrings are pictured, most designs are available as necklaces, magnets or lapel pins.) Take a look at the site, the workmanship is top-notch and the colors are playful. In addition, the artists offer the service to create bottle caps from your custom designs. How fun would that be???
$20.00 at Aloha Bottle Cap Earrings

1% of the profits from Aloha Bottle Cap Earrings is contributed to The Adelante Foundation. They fund micro loans to women living in extreme poverty in Honduras.

These cuff bracelets are amazing!! and created from 100% reclaimed metals (copper, nickel & sterling or gold & silver upon request) some of the pieces even utilize recycled bullet casings. Husband-and-wife team Dara Gerson and Ashley Lowengrub create this jewelry collection called Alkemie, made up of rings, necklaces, bracelets and cuffs (my favorite!) picturing bats, and bugs and birds and even octopi!

Made by artist Laura Astor from recycled coke and pepsi bottles, this wearable art is creative and inspiring. It is versatile, too, since the translucent nature of the recycled plastic gives the pieces new life depending on the colors and textures that are put behind them. Bold and bright, perfect for a taste of spring. Check out her blog for more adventures in recycled PET (Polyethylene terephthalate for the brainiacs in the room.)
$35.00 – $45.00 at Laura Astor’s Etsy Shop
