Jewelry_cycle
Artists Discover Hidden Sparkle in the Discarded
@ The Museum of Craft & Design, San Francisco

Jewelry_cycle is an educational showcase of wearable treasures made from re-purposed and recycled materials. With the idea of an exhibition in mind, co-curators Christine Dhein and Christophe Koch asked the collective members to create wearable art from a variety of small, discarded circuit boards. Circuit boards are commonly made from fiberglass, epoxy resin, and a variety of metals, the latter which are likely to be one third of the material. These materials include copper, silver, and gold, which add a precious element to what would otherwise be considered e-waste. The collective discovered the hidden potential, and transformed these materials to create brilliant, sparkling jewels.
