This is a great idea! Turning something that would normally end up in the landfill into a beautiful piece of jewelry. This may make me start looking at my recyclables a little differently. Thank you for sharing this one.

Hi Thejesterqueen,

Thank you so much for your comment. Isabel and I try to create new shapes using Nespresso capsules every time. We will start to post these different models here as well. We have already posted a lot of them on our YouTube channel.

Thank you again
