Designed and created by G. Jarvis Jewelry etc. on Etsy, these quirky baubles are made entirely out of recycled materials, giving new purpose to discarded barbie doll pieces and little girl toys. The bottle caps are filled with a clear resin, some over a base of festive glitter, and little plastic and paper pieces are inserted within for a 3D effect. Doll eyes, some of which actually blink when tilted upward, and letter beads spell out "eye love u" on some pendants, and others feature Ken Doll and Barbie faces in a lover's embrace.

These bottle cap pendants make for strange and unique Valentine jewelry.
