Upcycled jewelry had become popular only a few short years ago. By utilizing items that most would consider junk, the artist melts down this very junk to form upscale brass and copper jewelry. Metals have grown valuable over these hard economic times, so the cost of these lines of jewelry have increased recently. With community members in every city witnessing the benefits of local purchases and recycling of goods, upcycled jewelry is more a statement than a chic solution to everyday accessorizing.
Designer upcycled jewelry such as that of Pinky Elodie by Bonnie Sedan also keeps it earthy by utilizing what she has titled ‘fallen feathers’. Never plucked and only naturally fallen from an animal, feathers can be a trendy and animal-friendly way to enjoy the season.

Using Resin In Jewelry?
Resin. Yep, using resin in jewelry is a new and awesome way in which to create pieces of wearable art with raw and natural appeal. A substance created from plant-life, this dino-age fluid hardens over time. While moist, it can also be used to produce incense, perfumes, colognes and oils of a variety of scents.
When hardened, resin isn't exactly as smell-good as one might think. Actually, after tumbled, resin has no smell at all. Falling and hardening into variations of different forms, jewelry designers such as Pinky Elodie keep the raw state, instead of grinding the piece down to look like a bead or perfectly shaped stone.
Resin also can formulate its own gloss coat if aged over time. Although most artisan jewelers choose to coat the resin themselves, to create a better visual appeal.
Wearable art can be created out of almost anything, but some designers are starting to move toward the rawness of the earth that surrounds us, as their inspiration for fashion statements. Fashion forward in an urban or country setting, these pieces are bound to hit Hollywood soon.
