Wrecord Monkey Jewelry
Do you have a stack of old vinyl records in your basement collecting dust? Well, a Brooklyn based design company called Wrecords By Monkey found a stylish way to recycle those great memories. Founders, Patrick Chirico and Brian Farrell, carved out a niche in the accessories business by handcrafting bracelets, pendants, rings and earrings made from old vinyl records. First they screen print the original graphic over the record. Then cut and shape it into the design. All while helping to leave a low carbon footprint.
What is really cool is that on many of the cuff bracelets, depending on the graphic you pick, you can still see the grooves of the records! There are so many different prints to choose from. You are sure to find one that fits your unique lifestyle. With several themes such as Off The Train (The images range from trains and cityscapes to dripping graffiti and spilling fire hydrants. The collection was inspired by New York City’s J-train,), and NYC Artist Series, which featured 12 NYC artists. All of their accessories are inspired by fashion, art, and music. They even have a new glow in the dark series! So what are you waiting for? Donate your old vinyl today for a truly personalized piece or just buy one and rock out with your cuff out! Check them out at www.WrecordsByMonkey.com. You can also find them at the Brooklyn Flea Market.
