Ring ring! From mobile phone to jewellery
Think carefully before you toss your trusty mobile aside; it could soon be being handed to you as your wedding ring!
A unique jewllery range, made by Australian designer Nic Cerrone, uses recycled mobile phone components to create unusual and striking pieces. His range is currently being auctioned here, and includes a men's ring and necklace, women's necklace, bracelet, earrings and cufflinks.
Rose Read, manager of Aussie mobile recycling program MobileMuster said she hoped the move would encourage more people to recycle their old handsets.
