My latest find to repurpose

[Bron357]

As a lover of repurposing jewellery to better suit my style or simply to use, many years ago I bought a sweet white gold watch with 14kt white watch band that turned out way too small for my wrist. Should have checked the measurements, it was cut down to fit a 5 1/2 wrist (probably why it was so cheap). After it rattling around in the bottom of the jewellery box I figured a nice brooch instead of the watch head would work and make a nice bracelet. As everyone knows I have to find a good buy, harder and harder these days. I found a sweet little brooch and voila.
I will get loops soldered onto the ends but it’s actually wearable as is. How handy.

Edwardian at its best! And, as I always say, I love clever repurposing. What's old is new again. Enjoy!!
