Old Tin Roof Emily's Maple Necklace

Yukon artist, Esther Winter has combined the warm tones of repurposed antique time with bright new metals to create this unique jewelry.

The antique tin was originally a four gallon "Imperial Gasoline Can", in the 1920's. The can was flattened and repurposed to make a roof for a log cabin. Ten years ago, the cabin had to be dismantled because is was leaning precariously, Esther saved the rood and has repurposed it a second time in this beautiful jewelry.

This necklace features a 2.8 cm x 2 cm textured copper butterfly shape resting on a 3.2 cm recycled antique tin disk and is suspended on an 18" waxed cotton cord with a sterling silver clasp.

Handcrafted in the Yukon, Canada.
