Buzz Buzz Designs: Modern Jewelry From Twentieth Century Artifacts

 

Recycled. Handmade. Original. Buzz.

I handcraft each piece of my unique, modern jewelry entirely from vintage materials that I painstakingly salvage and recycle from old costume jewelry. I combine these treasures of Lucite, glass, and enameled metal with minimal quality modern findings, including allergy-safe sterling silver or 14k gold-fill earring hooks. Read more about my love for vintage and recycling and what inspires me, Kristen Billings.

A note on shipping

Shipping is always free in the U.S. and Canada by first-class, otherwise international shipping is typically around $2 to $5 by first class, depending on destination.

Every order is shipped in a recycled mailer and arrives attractively packaged in a protective re-usable tin like the one Liza Lagman Sperl received (and photographed). She says "I was pleasantly surprised to find that shipping was included in the price AND it comes in this spiffy little tin!"

Thanks Liza!
