Zippers

I love it when designers make jewellery out of items that most of us would not have even considered using as jewellery, or would not have even given those items a second look in their original context or use. In this particular case I’m talking about zippers. Who would have thought that zippers would make beautiful jewellery?

This is another example of how commonly found objects can be turned into beautiful design pieces. Just another reason to re-use and recycle items – and who knows? It just might be your next pair of earrings!

After seeing this I feel like – who needs diamonds anyway?
