    Recycled computer hardware is often melted down to extract its precious metal. But, some artisans give discarded circuit boards and old hard drives a second life as beautiful jewelry and amazing art.

    This gallery showcases circuit board jewelry and art from The Blue Kraken. Her necklaces, pendants, earrings and belt buckles are a beautiful blend of recycled computer hardware, precious metals, and semiprecious stones.
