You would be forgiven for mistaking the gemstone pictured here as an example of expensive topaz. However, this talented artist actually crafted this masterpiece out of a shard of glass from an old beer bottle. This is another instance of recycling at its finest; it's such a clever idea. Just look at the shape of the gem, and how it catches the light, it really looks like a precious stone!
This is such a fabulous idea for sustainable designers looking to create beautiful jewelry out of readily available materials. Don't you think green bottles would make for beautiful gems too? What do you think?
