guitar string jewelry- bronze necklace

Description

This necklace is made up of my hand coiled wire and bronze guitar string beads, brass colored guitar string ball ends, and found objects. The jumprings are also handmade. The lobster style clasp is made from antiqued brass. The necklace measures 24".

All of my guitar and bass string jewelry is made from previously played strings. Some strings may have some discoloration, but I feel this adds to the character of the pieces. Since most guitar strings are made up of more than one metal, for example steel and nickel, they are not able to be recycled. Unless the strings are given a new use they will just end up in the trash, which makes my guitar string jewelry eco-friendly as well as being beautiful and unique pieces of jewelry.
