The idea behind Melissa Kolbusz's [WIRED] jewelry line is simple: "Excess and discarded materials are abundant in our cities and are waiting for a new use," she explains. So what is to be done? Make this waste into wearable art of course! And that's exactly what Melissa has set out to do. Using only recycled and discarded materials, she creates stunning, industrial jewelry for the edgiest of eco-conscious fashionistas. Our favorite piece: this "chaos" bracelet, made from alternator wire. Take a gander and let us know what you think of the entire collection. - Emily Browne
