While University of Texas student Cody Wilson has raised controversy by creating the world’s first 3D printable gun, social entrepreneur Peter Thum is taking the opposite tack. Thum has created a company that works with municipalities and law enforcement leaders to repurpose the illegal guns they seize into jewelry. The resulting pieces include two bracelets, a necklace and a ring in a unisex spike design from Philip and Courtney Crangi, the brother and sister team of Giles & Brother. Each piece of jewelry carries the serial number of a gun taken out of commission.
