These bracelets I made out of old necklaces from my grandma, I used an old button for the clasp.
The top one I made first, then on Christmas Eve day while waiting for my daughter to come home I started making the one with the pearls, crystal and black beads for her and it just happened to match the outfit she wore for christmas eve.

Kind of tricky getting the lengths correct and being sure the wires all got crimped in together. Making it with Grandma's jewelry is so very fun. I started my jewelry business 12 years ago with Grandmas jewelry and now I'm going back to that styling again. Great job!

It made me consider doing something similar with a vintage brooch (sp.?) Do you think that would work?

My mind is racing.....
