Are you the type of person who holds onto stuff? Do you cart unopened boxes of family heirlooms from house to house? Is your grandmother's wedding china gathering dust in your cupboards? Lucky for us the designer behind the The Broken Plate has found a way to make use of your family treasures in a creative way. She will take that special treasure of yours, break it, and create a gorgeous piece of jewelry unique to you. Finally, granny's china sees the light of day. (via The Budget Ecoist)

These are spectacular, I am exactly the person you're talking about! I have a full kitchen of teacups, maybe my husband will let me make them into jewelry. He'd love to break them at least!

Lovely stuff, can't believe that it is actually made from recycled things.

This is me! I even keep the broken pieces of china!

What an incredibly great idea! But first, I have to bring myself to part with the mass of items I have collected over the years... Too hard!

Aloha, for another take on recycling precious metals, our company here in Hawaii, Designs 'N Gold is taking old, unused and broken jewelry and recycling it into new pieces of Hawaiian jewelry. We find that many of our customers love their new jewelry and the fact that it was created from what they thought was scrap.
