Upcycled: Cigarette Lighter Ring
My favorite upcycled products are those that are made from actual trash picked up off the ground. That’s why these rings from Metals And Thread made out of used cigarette lighters are just awesome.
In the listing for this ring, they write:
A sustainable and artistic approach was used to make these pop art jewelry pieces. The lighters were found on the street and were carved, sanded, shaped and finally filled at the top with acrylic to finish the look. Colors vary depending on what Nate happens to find in the street.
These seem like lots of work and are only $17.50!

Thanks so much for the kind words. I stumbled upon your entry and I have a smile from ear to ear. I am currently working on a new version of the cigarette lighter rings so stay tuned if you’re interested.
Al the best,
