What is
Radical Jewelry Makeover?
Radical Jewelry Makeover (RJM) is an international community jewelry mining and recycling project focused on education and collaboration. It brings together jewelers, working together to examine mining issues while making innovative jewelry from recycled sources.
NEW! RJM Madeover Jewelry Store
Here, you will find Madeover Jewelry hand fabricated by jewelers around the world! Materials used to make these pieces were mined from donors’ jewelry boxes, creating a transparent supply chain. We innovate and transform unwanted, broken, mismatched jewelry into new, fresh work, challenging how jewelers source materials and asking consumers to alter their habits of consumption by supporting and wearing this work!

The Radical Jewelry Makeover Tool Kit was designed to introduce more jewelers (student and professional) as well as the general public with the mission of Ethical Metalsmiths, and to offer a hands-on opportunity to get involved. Learn how to bring RJM to your community!
