Hump Day Etsy Find — From Watch Parts to Jewelry

This week’s Etsy find repurposes and refurbishes watches of all kinds into some very stunning pieces of jewelry.  The seller — A Second Time — has a wide variety of pieces including necklaces, cufflinks, earrings, brooches and tie tacks as well as a selection of watches available for sale.  The pieces of watches that are used in her pieces include the watch face itself, the bezel, the gears and springs inside of the watch.  Pretty much any piece of the watch itself may be found in one of her artistic creations of extremely wearable jewelry for men and women.  I really love how recognizable some of the pieces are as former time pieces.  This kind of repurposing is great because it’s like being a walking ad for eco-friendly living.  Everyone sees what the item used to be — this can lead to a conversation starter or even an inspiration for greener living.

When selecting which pieces of the clock will be used, the artistian ensures that the piece is no longer viable for use as it’s intended purpose.  This ensures that only pieces of watches that are “useless” are used to make the jewelry out of.  If the watch is salvageable, it’s repaired and available for sale at her shop as well!  This kind of fix or use policy really makes sure that the time pieces are kept out of the garbage and reused in one way or another.  There’s a wide variety of styles of pieces available for sale in her shop.  Go and check it out!!
