That’s the elegant idea from Neal Bridgens handmade from brass, copper and even oak: “yes it’s real, not femo or glue or paint or found parts, it’s all hand made using jewellers techniques — it should probably outlive me (not the iPod mind you). It’s not particularly for sale, I use it and rather like it, but I’m not against offers being made…Much to my surprise about 20 people a day come by to look at this. Thanks for your interest! ”
I love deeply love that!
Don’t lose more time: have a look at the Neal Bridgens’s site to keep the great work up!
“…all my necklaces are a collage of countries, words and memories. I’m just the link between the objects thrown away and their new noble life. I’m the hand that picks, cleans and brings them to their new life story … Probably I did’nt discover anything except from my unique “passion” in what I do …”
Reading these words, I was touched and captured during my research of the eco-artists: she is Chiara Martina Jarno Trentin aka “Chimajarno“ and I wrote about “Pearl Necklace? Buttons thanks!” in my FreeStyle Blog first and now in Refashinoso.
“Some years ago I found a box full of buttons collected over the years by my grandmother and I started to watch these little wonders with new eyes”.
This month she is involved in: “Salerno, WASTE IN SEARCH OF AUTHOR – SECOND LIFE (third edition)” & “Barcelona, at the Gallery of Contemporary Art D_Spazio, Calle Ribes 99″. She is always very active within “Art and Fashion Recycling” exhibitions. Find out more about her look at Chimajarno’s blog.

Giovanni Scafuro is an italian artist who began to work in artisans shops where he learned and applied the art of these amazing manual trades to create complementary furnishings.
Daily use objects change image! He says “this is a change of route in object’s life, thanks to recycle and reuse concept”. His true love goes to forks and so he’ve created jewels and house furnishing reusing them.
Objects and materials are for Giovanni an inexhautible source of inspiration and life interpretation: his manufactoring is in continuous metamorphosis, indeed… in progress!

Growth in the culture of recycling and conservation Gibi learned first to decorate herself with her fantasies and then did it with others.
Each pin, each cap, every creative necklace is a mirror of her mood, of thoughts and situations.
Scrap of all kinds, costume jewelry, lace, fabrics, wood wastes, toys forgotten by the fast growing, parfume samples, pearls, ribbons, braids and glue marry sensations that come from outside and inside of this artist.
Little things became real symbolic messages because they are full of stories and smells of past; concepts to wear, decorative rhetoric.
You can find Gibi in her things and in her mail gibi.geppo@live.it or ceraunavolta.vintage@live.it
Gülnur Özdağlar since 2008 she has been producing cups, jewellery and home decoration accessories by recycling PET bottles: have a look at these amazing necklaces, earring, rings…
She collects, heats, cuts, melts, drill holes into and reshapes PET bottles. She thinks that the real solution is “upcycling” rather than plain recycling. Her aim is to substitute with labour and artistic value the characteristics that the material loses during transformation, thus obtaining a product of higher value.
She believes that in the future there will be a plastic material that will not proceed from the cradle to the grave, but that will return to the cradle with no loss, thus giving rise to a new plastic material, that this will “determine the way shapes are created” and that the real problem will not be recycling, and not even upcycling, but “karmic compensation”. In other words she believes that there will be a better world.
