Waste not, want not! This age-old adage has never been more appropriate than in our current eco-conscious society. So it’s really neat that the jewelry by Indregru is wearable art made out of waste. Basically, cool baubles out of rubber, metal, and whatever else was meant for the garbage.
The photos in this gallery, which display some cool recycled jewelry including bracelets, necklaces, and earrings, were shot at a recycling plant where the materials used in Indregru’s accessories were first sorted. Who would have thought that little pieces of colored rubber could turn into such ultra-hip frippery?
