A couple years ago while cleaning up around her workbench, Dana Roth was shocked to discover just how many beer cans littered the space. A different person might have used the moment to question their alcohol consumption, but Dana decided to crack open another beer and make some jewelry. First in Oregon, now in Vermont, she’s taking on the world one cold one at a time.
In the spirit of recycling & creating less waste, D-Licious has made available aluminum can jewelry.
All of their Beer-Can-Jewelry is made of sterling silver & aluminum beer or soda cans that D. Roth (or a close friend) has personally drank from. The
aluminum is secured to the jewelry with sterling rivets & protected from damage by ledges (on the rings) or caps (at the end of the bracelets).

Amy Pfaffman creates jewelry out of functional objects. This ring is made from the eyes of a Teddy Bear.
Amy Pfaffman’s degree in industrial design from Rhode Island School of Design in 1990 cemented her appreciation for functional objects. In her jewelry she turns functional objects into art using cold connections and mechanical joints paired with sterling silver. She has a way of making ordinary things, many people generally would throw away, into something to appreciate and admire. She hopes to inspire others to appreciate the beauty in the things they use every day and know that great thought was put into their design.
You can find earrings, bracelets, necklaces made out of almost anyting imaginable, chopsticks, coffee beans, fuses, guitar picks, vinyl records just to name a few.
You can purchase her jewerly at many museum gift shops and other fine stores located across the U.S.
