Abstract
The present invention in one embodiment is a bead formed from bottle caps of a beverage container. In another embodiment of the invention, pieces of jewelry or other ornamental objects are formed from bottle caps of beverage containers. In yet another embodiment of the invention, pieces of jewelry or other ornamental objects are formed from the metal of cookie tins, candy tins, mint tins or similar metal containers. After appropriate preparation, a bottle cap or piece of metal from a tin is placed in a press tool having a punch member forming tool and cutting die that cooperatively interact to reform the bottle cap or metal from a tin, and in some cases punch out a piece of the bottle cap or metal from a tin. This produces, in several embodiments, a component that will be joined with one or more other similar components to form the bead or ornamental object of desire. In other embodiments, the reformed bottle cap or piece punched out of the bottle cap or tin is the desired ornamental object itself.
