Glass artist Kathleen Plate has elevated glass bottles to high fashion. Inspired as a young girl by the sun-catching textures of stained glass, Kathleen has emerged as a pioneer in eco-design with her recycled glass jewelry design group.

The coca-cola line features glass circles and hoops made from rescued glass bottles, like this three-ring lariat necklace - a piece of unmistakable casual elegance.

The recycled glass line features one-of-a-kind pieces hand made from recycled bottles in a stunning range of colors inspired by traditional stained glass hues. Bottle sources include soda and beer bottles, as well as other sources. Kathleen's works are handcrafted using sterling silver fixings and chains. Vibrant and simple, they add a cheerful punch to your accessory inventory.

There's even a handsome pendant perfect for the guy in your life...just so you don't feel guilty when you snap up all the pieces in the women's section! (Earrings, shown, $58.)
