Recycled Jewelry ... for a Cause or just to be Chic

Posted byLaura DeMeulemeester

Recycled jewelry comes in all types, shapes and forms these days - from bobby pins and camera parts to pop cans and paper products. Here are a couple cool examples:

The Mombula Workshop in Mombasa, Kenya houses "a group of disabled artisans who create funky jewelry out of recycled soda pop cans and wire. They use pop can cut outs for the bodies of the little people they make. The workshop’s motto is “Disability is not Inability”. They are able to provide for themselves and their families and receive adequate housing and education."

On the other end, Holly Anne Mitchell "changes losing lottery tickets into a revenue generating enterprise. The American artist designs and constructs her line of Jewelry out of recycled paper products. Mitchell uses expired coupons, comic strips, stock lists, crossword and Sudoku puzzles, losing lottery tickets and even used sweetener packets" in her Jewelry line.
