Here’s a pretty cool idea. 2 ReVert has created colorful jewelry pieces from excess materials that skateboard manufacturers throw away. It’s pretty nuts because you can actually see the 7 plys of maple wood from the skateboard where some plys are natural and some are coloured creating an nice pattern effect. Both Recycled Skateboard rings and earrings are available at Etsy.
