She likes to use a key that Steve Jobs wasn’t particularly fond of.

One person’s trash is the treasure of Pennsylvania artist Stacey Peterson, who salvages old Apple computer keys and power buttons to make necklaces, earrings and other jewelry out of them, writes Cult of Mac. The article says she sells the pieces through her “Keyed Up” online shop at Etsy, noting that she procures discarded keyboards from eBay and other sources. She specifically looks for older keyboards that have the command key with the Apple logo, which Steve Jobs didn’t like because he thought that the logo was in danger of being overused. “There are too many Apples on the screen,” Jobs said in 1983. “It’s ridiculous.

This Third-Generation Jeweler Was Ready for Retirement. He Called Wilkerson

Retirement is never easy, especially when it means the end to a business that was founded in 1884. But for Laura and Sam Sipe, it was time to put their own needs first. They decided to close J.C. Sipe Jewelers, one of Indianapolis’ most trusted names in fine jewelry, and call Wilkerson. “Laura and I decided the conditions were right,” says Sam. Wilkerson handled every detail in their going-out-of-business sale, from marketing to manning the sales floor. “The main goal was to sell our existing inventory that’s all paid for and turn that into cash for our retirement,” says Sam. “It’s been very, very productive.” Would they recommend Wilkerson to other jewelers who want to enjoy their golden years? Absolutely! “Call Wilkerson,” says Laura. “They can help you achieve your goals so you’ll be able to move into retirement comfortably.”
