Harbor City, CA : FaeriesDance.com has teamed up with the company From War To Peace to provide wider distribution for a thoughtful jewelry line made from disarmed nuclear weapons cabling. Each piece of jewelry is designed with a vision of peace. From the ever-recognizable Peace Sign to more subtle images of the of the Tree of Life, Spiral, Lotus Flower and Love Birds, the line invokes beauty while being fully recycled and sustainable.

From the late 1940’s into the early 1980’s, immense quantities of copper were mined in Montana to create copper cable. Throughout the upper Midwest, thousands of miles of cable connected nuclear warheads in silos to U.S. military command centers. Since the late 1980s, the U.S. has entered into a number of nuclear disarmament treaties. The cabling connecting the disarmed nuclear missile silos was left in the soil of the American Midwest. This cabling, up to 3.5 inches in diameter and made of plastic, copper, and steel, was buried deep underground to keep it impervious to nuclear assault. From War to Peace, has patiently dug much of this missile cabling out of the soil, recycled the metals into their pure forms, and used the copper to create a wonderful alloy called Peace Bronze© from which their jewelry is made.

FaeriesDance.com hopes to get the jewelry line wider distribution both here and overseas by offering it as an accessory to their organic clothing line. Since FaeriesDance.com caters to the environmentally conscious consumer, it seems a perfect pairing. All of the jewelry is made in the USA.

This is, in my opinion, a brilliant way to recycle such cabling and, by way of note, this copper (and other material) is not radioactive and never has been. It was not part of the weapons systems it self; it was just cabling. I don't think that anyone in their right mind would even consider using metals from the weapons themselves, would they now.

On the other hand, there is another company that makes bracelets (bangles) from actual, though not nuclear, weapons, or better their remnants. Also a great idea.
