Bungee cord jewelry.
Designer Jaclyn Mayer creates artful jewelry collections with bungee cord (the same type used for bungee jumping or for securing luggage) and accents each piece with gold and silver-colored metal hardware. The designs are awesome and really intricate; the necklace and cuff below are from Orly Genger by Jaclyn Mayer. Proenza Schouler featured bungee jewelry in their Resort collection a couple of years ago – naturally, Resort collections are always my favorite.;)
Seriously, what a cool idea!
Navan Necklace, rope with metal links and cut out tubes.
Tawa Cuff, rope with metal links and clasp.
Buy the jewelry online or…make your own. Find simple instructions to make bungee jewelry here.
Wow that’s so innovative! I think that in one of my future collections I might make a trip to the thrift store and make jewelry out of unconventional items as well.

Isn’t it awesome? I think it’s such a cool idea, and it really doesn’t seem that difficult to make. I think the Jaclyn Mayer pieces are gorgeous. And WHOA!! I love your Etsy site. It’s so my style. :)
