Any musician knows just how wasteful a hobby it can be when it comes to guitar strings – they can break in a session, they can break in a week, or if you’re lucky, you might get through a month or two if you play regularly and like to experiment with your riffs. Guitar strings from electric or acoustic guitars don’t last forever, and while the average person might discard them without a second thought, there are millions of people out there that would like to get their hands on used guitar strings once plucked by artists like Bon Jovi, Bob Dylan or Avril Lavigne.

Wear Your Music creates bracelets from the guitar strings of famous musicians so that they can be reused, recycled and relished by their fans. Each guitar string is secured with a clasp in silver or gold, and music fans can also choose from adding a diamond into the mix or having the bracelet engraved. The guitar string bracelets created by Wear Your Music ensure that one of the most wasteful materials in music is repurposed into something that is fashionable, appreciated by music fans, and it also creates items that really tell a story.

Did I mention that a percentage of the sales from each of the recycled guitar string bracelets also goes to a charity advocated by the rockin’ musicians themselves? Sure, it lets you do something nice for the environment and for another great cause – but with certain musician’s guitar strings turned bracelets for sale, they are the gift that will keep teeny boppers screaming “Oh my god, this was touched by Nick Jonas!” (figuratively speaking of course, since the Jonas Brothers have yet to participate in this program).
