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."
You can find our recycled CD dangle earrings 'Color Explosion' by Rosario Leiva in jewelry categories such as Eco-Friendly Earrings, No Stone Earrings, Sterling Silver Earrings and Statement Earrings. Enjoy exploring these sections for other Novica treasures.
