{Recycled Glass Jewelry} Pink Depression Glass Pendant

I found this website and instantly fell in love with their journey! Bottled Up Designs makes beautiful custom-jewelry out of depression (and thrown-away) glass! Their recycled glass jewelry is handmade in Pennsylvania from antique glass and bottles reclaimed from the natural wooded habitats and rural farmlands. Another really cool part of this company is with every piece of recycled jewelry, you get the history of the beautiful broken treasures. Each piece comes with "The Story of the Glass" detailing what the glass was originally and the approximate age. Each piece is a unique way to "Preserve History, While Helping the Future".

From delicate and lovely antique pink depression glass. The broken pieces of various dishware have been reclaimed and hand cut to 5/8" in width, x 1 1/2" in length, wrapped in sterling and hangs on your choice sterling chain.

The company moto is "Sustainability, in a broad sense, is the ability to endure."

Glass From The Past

A friend, Paula, sent me these adorable recycled wine glasses for my birthday. I love them so much I decided to blog about them! (Thanks Paula!) They came beautifully wrapped in a box full of recycled packing.

RECYCLED WINDSHIELD WINE GLASSES
Handmade in Colombia of recycled glass from old car windows, these substantial stemless wine glasses will add an interesting twist to any glass of wine. Sturdy and strong, the thick glass has a slight green hue from the tint originally added to lessen the sun's glare. Beautiful and interesting, these stemless wine glasses are an uncommon take on a stylish design. Each is one of a kind and will vary. Sold as a set of 2. These are made of recycled glass and are dishwasher safe. The sizes are 5.5" H, 18 oz.
