We just spotted this cuff from Alkemie Jewelry.

Like something dug up from the wreckage of a pirate ship, the rough-hewn gold cuff plays with textures: a "tear" in the metal, a finish that equally resembles the frothing bubbles of an ocean wave and the scales of a sea creature.

The piece is made even more covetable by the fact that all Alkemie designs are made from reclaimed metals. (Fact: gold mining generates more toxic waste than any other industry in the United States.)

Who knew recycling could be so glamorous?
