Is the jewelry really made of Newspaper? Yes. We also use Sweetener Packets, Loser Lottery Tickets, Dollar Bills and Expired
Coupons.
Why Newspaper? The Designer, Holly Anne Mitchell began exploring recyclable paper materials while studying at The University of
Michigan in 1990. She had a project in a Metalsmithing class to create a piece of jewelry consisting of only non-traditional materials (no metal,
precious stones, etc.). She chose newspaper comic strips because of the rich color patterns. She was hooked! Her designs have evolved
over the years to include Sweetener Packets, Expired Coupons and Loser Lottery Tickets.
How is it made? The Paper is cut into strips and hand-formed into uniform-sized beads. The Paper Beads are stitched together with (in
many cases) Metal, Glass, or Swarovski Crystal Beads into the form of Bracelets, Brooches, Earrings, and Cufflinks.
Are The Paper Beads Protected From Moisture? There is a moisture-resistant sealant on the beads to protect from moisture
(such as rain and moisture of skin) and protects the paper from tearing. We remind customers to exercise care: The beads are
moisture-resistant, not water-proof. So the jewelry is protected from light moisture such as rain and skin moisture, but cannot be worn while
swimming, doing the dishes or in the shower!
Do you sell wholesale? Yes. The Minimum Wholesale Order is 10 pieces. You may place your order online or by calling 317-846-6727.

order. Estimated shipping dates are shown in the item description on each web page. For faster service, please call 317-846-6727. Rush
order charges may apply.
