Plate Glass

Kathleen Plate is doing awesome stuff with your old Coke bottles. And your face wash bottle. And Your old mayo jar...

The jewelry designer and founder of the Smartglass brand creates earrings, necklaces and bracelets out of recycled glass. 

Some of the pieces use nondescript basic colors of recycled glass, while others are more specific. The line features a series of Coca-Cola licensed pieces - made out of the signature bluish-greenish-clear Coke bottle glass - and other pieces that are cut right from green and amber cosmetic bottles, with the printed text adding a unique graphic... well, pop.

It seems that I've been seeing Smartglass jewelry quite a bit lately, and it can be found in boutiques and artsy gift shops all over the place. The site lets you search for retailers too. (Ahem! Mothers Day gift...)
