Kowhai and Tassel Up-cycled Earrings
by Ronja Schipper
These unique, up-cycled Kowhai design and tassel earrings are hand made from bicycle tyre inner tubes by Ronja Schipper. The discarded inner tube is cleaned, polished, created and then attached to brass coloured surgical steel looped hooks.
A perfect environmentally friendly accessory to wear when you want to make a difference in the world.
