Wear Your Music makes recycled bracelets that rock

July 20, 2009

New York--Wear Your Music--a brand that represents the intersection of music, fashion and philanthropy--is offering fans of everyone from Avril Lavigne to Ziggy Marley a chance to own a piece of rock-and-roll history, while supporting charities such as Unicef, Rock the Vote and the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

The New York-based group creates bangle-style bracelets crafted from used guitar strings that have been donated by more than 150 artists, including such guitar luminaries as Eric Clapton, John Mayer and Pete Townshed, as well as members of The Allman Brothers Band, Death Cab for Cutie, Metallica, My Morning Jacket, Phish, Social Distortion and Widespread Panic.

In addition, Ani DiFranco, Jack Johnson, Carrie Underwood and Zakk Wylde have recently donated used guitar strings to Wear Your Music.

According to Wear Your Music, the bracelets are 100 percent eco-friendly, from the recycled silver used on the bracelet to the DVD case each one comes in. Each bracelet is also sold with a certificate of authenticity.

"These are strings that these musicians have used and would normally throw away," Wear Your Music co-president and designer Hannah Garrison said in a media release. "It's great that we can recycle them and also offer people a chance to wear rock and roll on their wrists."

According to Wear Your Music, a portion of each bracelet sale is donated to charities including Carlos Santana's Milagro Foundation and The Grateful Dead-affiliated Rex Foundation.
