This inch-long, hand-blown glass pendant contains a few drops of recycled oil. It’s meant to call attention to the world’s complex relationship with oil, a product which is widely viewed as a symbol of greed and corruption, and to make a statement about oil being a non-sustainable resource.
The pendants are capped with a recycled gold or silver seal. This very cool necklace is the result of a collaboration between Unearthern and designer Alexandra Cassaniti.
