4 out of 5 starsIt’s a little bulkier than I was expecting. It works and I use it for my badge, but I’m so scared I’m scared I’m going to knock off the front of it because it’s pretty thick.

5 out of 5 starsThis small circuit board cut out in the shape of the US looks great as part of my "Tech Wall". I paid a little more to get a custom color, and what I received is exactly what I expected. The shipping was fast, and I'm sure I'll buy from this seller again.

Frequently asked questions
Wholesale availability

Care instructions
Resin is pretty durable, but if it does get scratched, simply buff it using plastic polish or vegetable oil using a soft cloth. Larger scratches can be filled with a UV-stable clear nail polish. Handle this jewelry like your other silver jewelry. Silver can be polished to restore shine. Also, these pieces are durable enough to be cleaned in your jewelry cleaner- just don't use any chemicals on them. The jewelry is waterproof but try to sustain from prolonged water contact.
Are those real circuit boards?
Yes! I use only broken, obsolete circuit boards from computers, calculators, and cell phones. The color you see, called soldermask, is usually green for circuit boards because it's easier for manufacturers to detect defects. However, other colors are used too, which is why my jewelry comes in a rainbow of colors!
Is this jewelry safe to wear?
Absolutely! While some older circuit boards may contain heavy metals, they do not pose a threat because it's in very low concentrations and you'd have to eat them to receive exposure. Furthermore, my jewelry is encased in resin and metal so the circuit board will never actually come in contact with you. This is really important! I also do not make or sell "bare" circuit board jewelry because they are made from fiberglass, which can irritate your skin.
Custom and personalised orders
Just send me a conversation or email (info@CircuitBreakerLabs.com) with any project, no matter how simple or complex, and I'll get back to you with options, a timeline, and price quote. Look here for a gallery of custom made projects: https://circuitbreakerlabs.myshopify.com/pages/custom-projects Simple requests (like if you want something with a chip on it or a longer chain) can be made in the note to seller box at checkout.
Gift wrapping and packaging
All small items will come in a gift box with a circuit board design. Masks are shipped in a protective plastic sleeve, and art pieces are shipped wrapped in bubble wrap. To conserve paper, I never include an invoice, so if it's being shipped as a gift, no worries! If you want to include a gift message, let me know what you'd like it to say in the notes to seller box, and I'll hand write it on a circuit board note card.
How does international shipping work?
Orders to Canada have one flat rate shipping fee and all other destinations ship for a flat rate as well. Please note that some countries impose an import tax or duty and that it is your responsibility as a buyer to pay that duty in order to receive your item(s). Please consult your local post office for information about rates so you're not surprised when you receive your item(s).
I ship everything from my studio within three working days (longer if it is a custom item) but shipping time to your destination will vary depending on a number of factors including weather and customs. While many packages will arrive within 1-2 weeks, please be prepared to wait up to 30 days before receiving your item.
