The concept of this clock is pretty cool …made out of recycled Japanese yen (the 1,000, 2,000, 5,000 and 10,000 yen bills come in different colors, so it is quite colorful) However, one reviewer at Uncommon Goods
icon mentioned that it didn’t look all that special. Nice concept, though!
$40.00 at Uncommon Goodsicon (which has a lot of interesting unusual gifts, ...many of which are eco-friendly)

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!
