Recycled guitar strings of music legends become bracelets and aid charity
New York-based WEAR YOUR MUSIC creates eco-friendly jewelry that turns the used guitar strings of an eclectic range of famous musical artists into stylish bracelets that proclaim both your love of music, and your donation to charity.
The bangle-style bracelets are crafted from guitar strings donated by over 150 artists ranging from rock luminaries Eric Clapton and Pete Townsend to contemporary artists like My Morning Jacket, Death Cab for Cutie, Jack Johnson, Carrie Underwood and Ani DiFranco. I have my eye on the under-appreciated Steve Vai bracelet ($150).
The fine silver used on each bracelet is also 100% recycled, as is the DVD case each bracelet comes in. Each piece is sold with a certificate of authenticity.
A portion of each sale is donated to charities like Carlos Santana’s Milagro Foundation and The Grateful Dead-affiliated Rex Foundation.
The company also makes a line of guitar string fashion bracelets (no rock star heritage) that start at $7.00
