Sigford opted to make jewelry and accessories not only because it felt like a natural fit for the materials at hand, but because she saw a fundamental flaw in the mass-produced accessories you’d typically find at the big box store: Those durable components make her accessories durable, as well, so not only is Sigford upcycling bike parts that would have headed for the landfill, she’s creating jewelry and hair pieces that will last. She sells her bike-inspired creations in her Etsy shop, at a local salon, and at local art shows. [Photos via Sadie Sigford. Used with permission.]
