Making new jewelry from old pieces

Saturday, April 12th, 2008

A friend of mine showed me a clunky necklace that had very pretty beads, but was just too big for her. She asked if I could “do something” about it. Ahhh… the open ended “do something”….one of my favorite tasks. Anyway, here are the before and after pictures. I took this one big necklace and made 4 pieces (adding some silver beads and wire along the way). The resulting pieces were perfect for her.

Someone custom ordered this necklace from me and then decided that she didn’t want it. Unfortunately I hadn’t collected any deposit or anything since it was someone that I know from work. Oh well. Red (Siam) Swarovsky crystals (some vintage), along with Swarovski spacers and sterling silver beads. Will put it in the online store.
