Social Entrepreneur Peter Thum Is Converting Guns Into Jewelry

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.
