I created this unusual and beautiful necklace from part of an eyeglasses frame found on the Ozark Highlands Hiking Trail in Arkansas. I used copper wire in several types of weaves (a process where a very fine gauge wire is wrapped around base wires in a repeated pattern) including the snake weave and coiling. I incorporated iridescent purple glass seed beads and deep purple glass crystal beads. This striking pendant looks like a work of art and very few people will ever guess that the original framework was from a discarded eyeglass frame. It closes with a simple s-hook.
I strung this pendant on a 22 inch delicate copper chain.
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.
