Eco Chic Jewelry

Can a machine oil filter be beautiful?

Yes, in the hands of jewelry designer Paola Volpi. Transforming mundane and industrial elements such as the automotive oil filter, nuts and bolts, and rubber bands into elegant, modern, chic jewelry is the specialty of this Italian designer.

With the addition of silver, pearls, and inherent good taste, Sra Volpi creates varied artistic statements that support the eco-chic ethic, while not ever tripping over the line of regrettable upcycling.
