We handcraft unique and excellent-quality jewelry with recycled plastic bottles, embracing every special moment in your life. Add a touch of eco-friendly elegance to your outfit, all while reducing our collective waste output.
Our inspiration is what we set out to save – nature. Our mother nature is delicate and gorgeous – and so is our jewelry. Everything in our collection is a tribute to an embodiment of the beauty of nature.
Our jewelry is handcrafted to refined perfection, made from recycled plastic bottles by our well-trained and experienced artisans in our Helsinki studio, ensuring they are lightweight and exquisite pieces.
My design journey began in China, where shortly after starting my studies in industrial design at Jiangnan University, I realized that my field often relied on wasteful use of precious resources and was causing significant harm to the environment. As a result, I lost interest in the discipline and instead wanted to create responsible, handmade products with a sense of warmth.
In 2012, I came to Aalto University's School of Arts, Design and Architecture in Finland as a postgraduate student to focus on sustainable design and to study the artistic recycling of disposable plastics. After graduation, I founded my design brand, Upcycle with Jing Jewelry, in Helsinki, creating jewelry from recycled plastic bottles and fulfilling my dream.
This country showed me that one person's waste can indeed become another person's treasure. Since then, I have been dedicated to promoting upgraded and recycled jewelry that not only showcases our unique personalities but also represents the environmental values we cherish.
I am not someone who wears beautiful jewelry every day, but I have a heart that loves beauty. I love designing beautiful things and bringing joy to others. My customers may not wear beautiful jewelry every day, but they too have a heart that loves beauty and life. When they purchase our jewelry, they are embracing the idea of accepting themselves and their love for beauty, and adding more color and joy to their lives. Their joy is a great motivation for us to keep going.
I also organize DIY jewelry workshops for companies and schools, allowing people to experience the process of creating unique and upcycled jewelry from discarded plastic bottles.
1. Cutting: We carefully cut recycled plastic bottles into specificshapes.
2.Melting: Next, these cut pieces are delicately melted, transformingthem into various beautiful flower shapes, each embodying a uniquecharacter and style.
3. Coloring: We use a range of vibrant colors to bring life and depth tothe flowers, ensuring each piece stands out with its own uniquecharm.
4. Assembling: Finally, the colored flowers are thoughtfully assembledwith other golden/silver components to create the final jewelry piece
