3 Contemporary Recycled Rings

The contemporary eye combines objects and material of the present with objects and materials from the past, not because of fashion but because of one's own knowledgeable eclecticism - the result of one's own varied experiences and cultivated taste.

German jewelry designer Iris Merkle created these recycling rings for her label Fingerglueck. The rings are made of chocolate paper and silver and they really do look great.

A one-of-a-kind orginial design by Belcher this very comfortable ring is made from used bicycle inner tube cut up and sewn into a ring with yellow stitching for decoration.

Often, attempts at making eco-jewelry can be a tad too juvenile. But Italian artist Maria Cristina Bellucci makes playful rings out of old colored pencils that still manage to be chic and sleek. By attaching fragment pieces of colored pencils, the rings reveal both the color and natural wood base.
