Description

The “Wasted Beerrings” began as bottle caps from a local brewery. Once opened, these caps would normally be thrown away. Vuigmakers collects them and reshapes the material into wearable pieces in their workshop in Gouda.

Each pair is made by hand. The metal keeps some of its original texture while being carefully formed into a clean and balanced design. They are light to wear and easy to combine, whether you’re dressing up or keeping it simple.

It’s a straightforward transformation: from something used once to something you can wear for years. If you’d like to learn more about how Vuigmakers works with reclaimed materials, you can explore their full story via the maker page.

Who is this for

• For people who enjoy subtle jewellery with a clear origin.
• For those who like wearing something that carries a material story without being loud about it.

Out of the ordinary

Because these earrings are handmade from reclaimed materials, small differences in colour or surface may occur. Each pair is slightly unique while keeping the same overall shape and size.
