The creative use of recycled materials in everything from fashion to art has never been more popular.

There are a number of jewelry designers who fashion earrings, necklaces and other jewelry using the recycled keys of very old typewriters. These sites include www.uncommongoods.com, www.typewriterjewelry.com and www.whatsyourtype.com. It's a nice way to enjoy one-of-a-kind jewelry and save old manual typewriters from the landfill. (Great gift for a writer!)
