Description

These earrings started as bottle caps from a local brewery. After being popped open and usually thrown away, Vuigmakers collects the bronze caps and reshapes them into something wearable.

Each pair is handmade in their workshop in Gouda. The metal keeps its character, but gets refined into a clean, circular shape with a subtle shine. They’re lightweight, so you barely notice them while wearing them, but they still catch the light in a simple way.

The Sunrise Trash earrings show how even something as small as a bottle cap can move from waste to jewellery without losing its origin. If you’re curious about how Vuigmakers works with discarded materials and transforms them into everyday design pieces, you can explore their full story via the maker page.

Who is this for

• For people who like subtle statement pieces with an awesome story.
• For those who enjoy jewellery that feels thoughtful, local and a little bit different.

Out of the ordinary

Because these earrings are made by hand from reclaimed materials, small variations in colour or surface can occur. Each pair is slightly different while keeping the same shape and size.
