Nikola Semotánová / Sherry Cordova

These plastic "Palmolive" rings are made from recycled bottles of something or other.

Above, more recycled bottle rings from Czech artist Nikola Semotánová. Seeing these once-disposable objects become objects of art, one comes to an important realization: Czech cleaning products are packaged in some very pretty colours.

Bonus link: California jeweller Sherry Cordova has more recycled bottle rings, only hers are glass rather than plastic.

Even more jewellery:

• Saves Nine (Australia) - textiles & tupperware


• Sasja Saptenno (Neterlands) - latex & rubber


• Roos Arntz-van Doren (Germany) - clean & contemporary
