Beth's post last week about upcycled jewelry made from discarded gun parts got jewelry on my mind! Since then, I've been perusing Etsy and drooling over all of the fantastical recycled jewelry options. Those crafty jewelers on Etsy are doing some amazing things with vintage, discarded, and found objects!

Recycled Etsy Jewelry

  1. Love Song, Antique Silver Spoon Ring - Revisions made this romantic ring with an antique silver spoon!
  2. Gilded Feathers - Feather earrings are really popular right now, and I love Girl On Bike's recycled take - she makes hers from spent bicycle inner tubes!
  3. Moonlight Seaglass and Key Necklace - How beautiful is this piece of wire-wrapped seaglass from Ecstasea?
  4. Upcycled Aluminum Earrings - Wearwolf meticulously cleans and crafts used soda bottles into these sweet little dangling hearts.
  5. Swahili Summer Necklace - The charms in this necklace by Africa Atelier are all made from vintage and recycled glass.
  6. Fly Raw Sterling Silver Hoop - These organic-looking hoops from Raw Elements Jewelry are made from reclaimed sterling silver.
  7. No. 6 or No. 9 - Vera Vague constructs this stunning pendant from metal discs and an old computer circuit board!
  8. Sky Blue Cameo Recycled Ring - This fully recycled ring by EcoBLING Couture features a sweet sky blue cameo and reclaimed blue glass beads.
  9. Swingin' Tire Ring - Another piece from Vera Vague, this ring is made from a recycled bike inner tube and vintage glass bead.
  10. Nostalgic Necklace - Days Long Gone constructed this necklace from vintage glass and salvaged bronze pieces.

    Nice finds! I want to direct you to two ladies on etsy that I had the pleasure of meeting at a craft fair recently. I’m not sure if their work would be considered jewelry but it is definitely upcycled! http://www.etsy.com/shop/marilyndagallery There work is stunning in person.

    (I am in no way connected to their business only a fan)

      Thanks for the tip, Sandy! Those mirrors are lovely.
