Eco-Bead Jewelry made from Recycled NewspaperEvery year more than 9 billion of the 12 billion magazines published in the United States either wind up in landfills or get incinerated. Each paper bead in these necklaces and earrings is hand crafted by American Artists using paper recycled from magazines and catalogs that would have otherwise been thrown away.
Recycled magazine and catalog pages are cut and rolled into beads. Each bead is a time capsule reflecting the images of our times in advertising and events. Color stories are gathered then into a finished piece of jewelry, combining the paper beads with gemstones and glass. There is much beauty to be found in recycled materials. We like to think of the paper beads as tiny time capsules preserving pictures of lost tribes, great women, the wildness of nature, the Titanic and so much more.
NOTE - Each magazine bead is sealed to protect it while wearing, but not suited for swimming or showering. If an edge gets torn, use a dab of super glue to set it right!
