Kansas-based husband-and-wife design duo Bryan and Andrea Ring use decommissioned road signs and license plates, along with various other reclaimed materials, to create these funky eco-chic accessories.
Inspired by urban street art, the work of these savvy metalsmiths include pieces such as Roger the Skull, a pendant made from a "No Dumping" sign, and the City Bird necklace, made out of a stop sign and a license plate.
Hats off to the Rings for giving raw unconventional materials a beautiful new life!
