Every piece of jewelry tells a story — and Secondline Jewels tell one rooted in rhythm, resilience, and the soul of New Orleans music. Handcrafted from chunks of broken drum cymbals, each accessory begins its life on a stage before finding a new one around your neck or at your ears.
Cymbals are an alloy — a spinning fusion of nickel silver, brass, bronze, copper, and sometimes gold. Pressed and spun together like a golden record, they're built to resonate. When a cymbal's performing days are done, Secondline Jewels gives it a second life.
The Craft
Chunks of broken drum cymbals are cut or punched into diamond shapes, then individually filed down and hand-polished until they catch the light just right. The geometric angles of the diamond form play beautifully against the cymbal's natural shimmer — no two pieces are exactly alike.
Materials
- Reclaimed drum cymbal alloy — nickel silver, brass, bronze, copper + sometimes gold
- Stainless steel curb chain
- Stainless steel jump rings
- 14K gold filled ear hooks
