Artisan Rosario Leiva of Guatemala brings new life to recycled CDs in these beautiful and fascinating dangle earrings with sterling silver hooks. She melts the CD scrap in a mold, then artfully applies droplets of acrylic to achieve her desired colors–purple, turquoise, and yellow for this pair of earrings–and then fuses the CD material and acrylic together using a blow torch. The resulting effect is magnificent translucent color punctuated with air bubbles that create unique patterns.
About her work, the artisan says: “I love creating jewelry with materials that most people would discard. Let’s all take the time to think about the endless opportunities we have to give ‘waste’ materials another chance.”
