Everything Old Is New Again

I love repurposing jewelry. It's just fun to take something old apart and put it with new components to create something new. It's like a puzzle, only you have to invent some of the pieces yourself. Call me a geek, I guess. :)

My very first customer ever, April, sent me some glass components to string into earrings. They were actually a bit of a challenge, because the consisted of 2 light blue, 2 dark blue, and 2 dark pink faceted ractangles. They were pre-fabricated with connections at one end and little knobs at the other, so I couldn't string them together, they really needed to be hung. April likes chandeliers, so I kicked that around a little, but I really didn't come up with anything I liked. Then I thought the rectangles would look neat suspended inside ovals. Specifically, these ovals.


I'm happy to say, I was right. They look really cute. :)
