These rings from Jam Home Made & Ready Made are created from [recycled bicycle spacers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/objects-from-frames). The Japanese leather and jewelry band took inspiration from the Olympics with these [brightly-colored bands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chiyu), which are paired with muted metallic bands for each stacked jewelry set.

I love the use of gunmetal gray bands over black to set off the brightly-colored rings.

**Implications** - Upcycling is the easiest and most affordable way for a company to show corporate social responsibility, feeding into the environmental frenzy that seems to have taken over in the last few years. These Jam Home Made & Ready Made bracelets are a great example of how versatile [recycled materials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chroma-twist) can be.
