The Queen of the Rings collection, created by Elena Estaun, has proven yet again that there is beauty in recycling.
The ring collection is made of recycled vintage keys from the United States from the 1950s era. The keys are then bent to fit perfectly around a finger. The unique reason behind using vintage keys is the fact that they are composed of silver and easily bent into a circle. Additionally, the Queen of the Rings collection can come with stones melded with the silver and can be personally engraved.
The keys themselves are a unique part of history. Some are from hotels such as the Las Vegas Mirage, back when keys were still used to access rooms. The collection is timeless and definitely guaranteed to be one-of-a-kind.
