I have collected objects many times to reuse them in projects or for personal use. This is because they are generally discarded for a better, a nicer or a newer one, and not because its useful life is over.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Godoy decided that he wasn&#8217;t going to get mad &#8211; he&#8217;d get crafty! He created a line of recycled jewelry using e-waste that otherwise would have been landfill-bound. He says:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>I started this project trying to find a new use for these items, rescuing and transforming many of them into an object that can be used in our daily life with a new meaning, now as an ornament and not as a secondary element.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The jewelry is not available for sale, as far as I can tell. Godoy calls it a &#8220;personal project,&#8221; and I love how it calls attention to the functionality of something that would otherwise go straight into the trash. He has a lovely slide show on his website showcasing the recycled jewelry that he created, though, and if you&#8217;re familiar with jewelry-making, it looks like something that you could recreate with basic wire-wrapping techniques just based on this beautiful photos.<\/p>\n<p>You can see a couple of my favorite pieces at the top of this post, and <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ameliechucky.cl\/elle\" target=\"_blank\">view the complete slide show of the entire project on Godoy&#8217;s website<\/a><\/strong><\/span>.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Want more recycled jewelry goodness? <a href=\"https:\/\/feelgoodstyle.com\/2011\/09\/25\/recycled-jewelry-transcendental-translucence-opalescent-vibrations\/\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: #993366;\">Check out these beautiful finds<\/span><\/a>!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>E-waste is a huge environmental problem, and one artist is turning all of that potential trash into striking recycled jewelry! <a class=\"g1-link g1-link-more\" href=\"https:\/\/feelgoodstyle.com\/articles\/recycled-jewelry-made-e-waste\/\">More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":10980,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"apple_news_api_created_at":"","apple_news_api_id":"","apple_news_api_modified_at":"","apple_news_api_revision":"","apple_news_api_share_url":"","apple_news_coverimage":0,"apple_news_coverimage_caption":"","apple_news_is_hidden":false,"apple_news_is_paid":false,"apple_news_is_preview":false,"apple_news_is_sponsored":false,"apple_news_maturity_rating":"","apple_news_metadata":"\"\"","apple_news_pullquote":"","apple_news_pullquote_position":"","apple_news_slug":"","apple_news_sections":"\"\"","apple_news_suppress_video_url":false,"apple_news_use_image_component":false},"categories":[366],"tags":[7567,7568,7569,1785,617,1280,7570,1729],"apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/feelgoodstyle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/Recycled-Jewelry.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/feelgoodstyle.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10979"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/feelgoodstyle.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/feelgoodstyle.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/feelgoodstyle.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/11"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/feelgoodstyle.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10979"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/feelgoodstyle.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10979\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/feelgoodstyle.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10980"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/feelgoodstyle.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10979"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/feelgoodstyle.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10979"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/feelgoodstyle.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10979"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
