Do you love rock and roll or folk music or country and western? Does an inspired guitar riff send chills up and down your spine? And how do you feel about avant garde jewelry? Do you enjoy wearing unique bracelets?
Or are you a musician who's looking for a unique way to promote yourself or your band? Or maybe you just love to make handmade jewelry and you're looking to experiment and go in an exciting new direction.
If any of these sounds like you (or someone you love) then you will want to read this article because it tells you about how you can pick up some unique jewelry made from your favorite musician's old guitar strings. And if you love to make jewelry yourself it might inspire you to take your creative efforts into another realm.
It's now possible to buy handcrafted jewelry that's made from old guitar strings that were once caressed by the fingers of your favorite rock and roll, country and western, or pop recording artist. And in doing so you will make the world a better place to live.
That's because a company recently hit the scene and it's fusing people's love of music and old guitar strings together with charitable donations. Their artisans fashion wearable jewelry from rusty old strings and then donate one hundred percent of their profits to charity.
You can find this company - Wear Your Music - on the Internet. They're the ones that came up with the concept of handcrafting guitar string bracelets by adding recycled fine silver to the guitar strings that were used and donated by famous rock and rollers. You can get them as slip on bracelets or with clasps. In either case they package the finished products in a recycled DVD case before shipping out their creations.
The bracelets are custom made to order and it can take up to three weeks between the time you place your order and the time it's shipped. Each bracelet includes a certificate of authenticity and they donate the profits to the charities that the artists themselves selected.
The bracelets cost anywhere from seventy five to five hundred dollars. It seems to depend on the stars' fame and fortune.
On the other hand, if there's a creative streak surging through your body and it's looking for a way to express itself, then you can take these ideas and create your own jewelry from your own guitar strings. Or if you'd like to start a new business, you might want to get in touch with a local band and share this idea with them.
You might want to donate the profits or you may want to keep the proceeds. In any case, with a bit of effort and inspiration it could be possible that with your creative efforts music will have never looked so good.
