Elizabeth Alorchie-Apetor selects warm earth tones for the design of this stunning necklace. She crafts the necklace by hand with sese wood beads in different shapes, alternating patterned spheres with discs. A larger sese wood pendant centers the necklace with carved patterns that suggest a bird's beak. Amber-hued recycled beads border the brass clasp.

Ghanaian jewelry designer Rita Addo Zakour presents a pair of earrings with animalistic appeal. The hand-crafted dangle earrings feature sassy beads of recycled plastic with a leopard print motif. Flanking the spotted beads are small spheres of brown sese wood. The earrings swing from brass hooks. The artisan names them ayeyi, which means "praise" in the Akan dialect.

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."
