Florence earrings from S.U.M.

Super dramatic and sure to make you feel special, these striped, organic earrings are made from repurposed single-use plastics. Made by an artisan who melts down discarded plastic junk and paints it into fabulous and fun jewellery.

They're so light you won't know you're wearing them, except when you think about the good that you're doing for the environment.

S.U.M. earrings are made by Jess in the Macedon Ranges, Victoria. She melts down milk cartons, straws, plastic lids, shampoo bottles, formula lids, dish-washing liquid containers, meat trays and uses the repurposed plastic like paint. As she says, there is a multiverse of useful, beautiful things that these throw-away plastics can become.
