The recycled tin in this unique piece has quite some history. Originally being a four gallon "Imperial Gasoline Can", it was flattened and repurposed into a tin roof for a log cabin in the 1920's. After a long life as a tin roof, the cabin underneath it gave in and had to be dismantled. But the tin roof still had lots of life in it and the artist decided to repurpose it once more into these beautiful jewelry pieces.
This naturally makes the "Old Tin Roof" collection limited - until all the roof is being repurposed.
Handcrafted in the Yukon, Canada.
