" Colabo recycled jewelrey "

  Recently Miho & I have been working on jewelry. A collaboration were fine jewelry hand work get together with the forge & heavier metal work. After treasure hunting on different " brocante", getting exalted from all those little inspiring bits and parts were patination of time has left it marks, 

we came up with a few series of recycled necklaces and earrings. Here are a couple of pictures .  

Quarts / steel / brass 

      The steel chain comes from an belgium army name plate dating back to the 50's. The pendant which is at the same time the closing for the necklaces is made from a part of an old sewing machine ( the one's that were working with out electricity and you hand to pedal with your feet ), a part of and axel of a photocopy machine & a brass washer. 

Steel & silver

  Those earring are made from old sewing machine needles as you can see from the advertising paper we found in the needle packing. Those needle are made from quenched steel and are very tine! It is an art to bend them the way you want with out braking them.
