Discarded credit cards have been creatively used before, but The Flowers of Evil Collection is a stylish project that provides the perfect reminder that spending habits and consumer tendencies should be kept in check. This reminder comes just in time for the holiday season, although those who already indulged in Black Friday deals may have missed out.
Created by Reka Lorincz, a jewelry designer born in Budapest, the Flowers of Evil Collection takes on the form of fresh blooms. From necklaces to brooches, the cutup credit cards are combined with precious crystals, pearls, gold, turquoise and even copper to become stunning pieces of jewelry. At once fashionable and quirky, the Flowers of Evil Collection encourages people to second guess their purchases.
