Found at BTC Elements: Earrings from Reclaimed Tin

We love these earrings, which were just added as one of the “new arrivals” at BTC Elements. The designer, Anna Johansson, is from Brooklyn and created them from reclaimed tin cans, as she does with all of her accessories. She finds her materials in thrift stores, the trash and grocery stores and searches for items that are destined for the trash. Johansson looks in particular for cans and tins that have labels and decorations enameled onto the surface. These earrings, above, are one-of-a-kind and can only be found on BTC Elements. Several other styles are available and even though they are new arrivals, from what we’ve seen they’ve been going fast. ::BTC Elements
