I decided to start a thread to find out what the general consensus is on dismantling old vintage and antique pieces in order to use the stones for something else.
In particular I’m thinking about antique brooches, some of which are gorgeous but I will never wear one, even on a jacket because it’s so warm here in CA. But there are some really nice ones with old diamonds and other gemstones and although it seems wrong to destroy them, it also could be cost effective.
What do y’all think?
