Rebecca Ward is an Australian based Jewellery (Jewelry) artist (born in New Zealand) who specialises in using found materials for her unusual, humourous and addictive pieces. She scavenges pebbles, glass and other detritus from beaches in New Zealand, and other materials come from rifle ranges, demolition yards, second hand shops and roadsides.
We at TreeHugger really love recycled jewellery, such as Mark Vaarwerk's and Spacefruit's recycled plastic jewellery, and Melissa Kolbusz's industrial recycled materials jewellery.
