When everyone has switched into the mode of going green, it seems like there’s an alternate color to sport with the same earth-saving benefits, and that’s black recycled bicycle inner tube transformations from Urban Lace Jewelry.
Head designer Barbi Touron and partner Aaron Shear teamed up to created these salvaged pieces to put use to the tons of inner tubes thrown into landfills each year, while taking advantage of their unique flexibility and durability. Each custom-made trinket is cut to look like lace and is available as a necklace, bracelet, earrings or even a mysterious mask.
The Urban Lace Jewelry not only recycles resources but supports various charities as well, making this the most do-good glam accessory to elegantly please your eco conscience.
