I've been getting so much useful info and advice from the forum that I feel I should contribute however small :tongue: , so here I am with my latest addition.

You know how your taste change as you get bigger (in age and size)? there are a few pieces of jewellery that I dont wear anymore so I've decided to recreate them. Here's the first finished piece. It used to be a bracelet of brown flowers (6 stones x 12 flowers, I think) separate by double rows of tiny white diamonds. Quality of the diamonds aren't good so I was worried about how it'd look but it turned out okay. The bangle is much more blingy than the old bracelet and it is definitely something I can wear everyday. There are still unused stones which I'm thinking of making into earrings or eternity rings.

HI:

Well done! A fav jewellery/vendor I frequent in Cali (when on holiday) has lovely chocolate bangles like you now have. They look fabu alone or with another white bangle (or plan yellow gold...) as you have fashioned!

cheers--Sharon

Oh, I love it! That is something that I would fall in love with if I saw it in a store. Very cool that a recycling project remade a piece into something more beautiful and wearable than the original!

You did a fantastic job with your remake! I love it! :love: It looks like you will get lots of wear from it as well. The combination of different colored stones is gorgeous! *sigh* I wish I could have one of everything around here!
