9 Upcycled Jewelry Designs

Jewelry is one of those things that can totally elevate a look. Classic designs and trendy pieces can completely change an outfit for the better. We all have those jewelry pieces that we just can't do without-- pieces that just feel so us. 

The pieces that mean the most to us have a story to tell and upcycled jewelry always has a story. Zero-waste designs give a new life to glass, metal, and vintage pieces, and are always a good conversation starter. 

But it can be so hard to shop for these things in your local stores or track down the best of the best through all the different vendors out there. That's where we come in! We've gone on the hunt and rounded up some of our favorite upcycled jewelry finds for you to level up your zero-waste fashion game.
