Sustainable Jewelry: The Cork Cuff
by Kara DiCamillo, Newport, Rhode Island 
on 07.12.06
We’ve thought of cork as a wearable product before, but mostly just for shoes. But never did we think it could be an addition to our jewelry collection. Designed and made by Donna Piacenza, the “Cork Cuff” is 100% recycled and recyclable, flexible and water repellent. Each is cut from a single block, previously used for storage and display, and is individually numbered to remind us that each is truly one-of-a-kind. Available at Studio 1A.M., a design studio that explores new ideas in materials and processes through projects like recycled jewelry and adaptable objects. Thanks for the tip, Heidi B.!
