I created this interesting necklace using a rusted jar lid and beverage container flip top. I embellished it with copper wire that I wrapped around and through holes that occurred over the time the lid spent in the outdoors, I added turquoise colored beads, and a strand of turquoise, black, and silver colored glass seed beads with copper wire.
The pendant measures 2 X 2.25 inches and it is strung on a 22 inch stainless steel ball chain that can be cut to fit.
Creating Trail Trash jewelry and art with discarded items is one of the ways I contribute to keeping trails clean and unspoiled. When you purchase one of these items you are helping me in my personal endeavors and I thank you!
Trail Trash jewelry takes many different forms, but usually involves items I find along trails or hiking paths - back country, rural and urban. I clean/prepare these items and use them to create unusual yet beautiful necklaces, earrings, bracelets or other works of art.
I have made every effort to eliminate sharp edges, rough areas, and any other imperfections that could cause injury of a person or clothing. It is nearly impossible to remove every bit of these defects so please take care when handing/wearing these items.
