Jerry's Favorite Earrings

Can you tell what these are made from?

These are already sold, but before they sold, they were Jerry's favorite pair of earrings.  Anytime he had someone interested in how and what we use to make our Mechanical Romance line, he would point out these earrings as an example of recycling at it's finest.

He would ask them what are they made of?  Only one person figured it out ... the rest would have no idea.  He would give them clues.. saying they were something that 15 years ago you probably used and saw everyday.

I made these earrings out of brass bead caps and the cute little dragonfly.. the vintage salvage bits are the clear cylinders. 


so... do you have any idea what these earrings are made out of???

They are from a 1960's phone -- part of the cradle you would lay the receiver on after you finished your phone call.
