Giving New Life to Some Old Pieces

Recently, as I was trying to sleep, I started thinking about a necklace I made a while back, before I was even a business. I thought it must be in my box of stuff to revisit, so I got that box out and went through it. Not only did I find the necklace I had been obsessing over, but I found other pieces that have potential. Top left pic, the left necklace is the one I was looking for.

Some of the earrings just need earring wires replaced, since I made these before I was crafting my own. Others, though, need a complete makeover. See the before (left) and after (right):

I like the before, but I really prefer the after. Updating the earring wires isn’t a huge change, but does make a difference, in my opinion.

I haven’t decided what to do with the necklace that inspired this particular project. I have taken it apart and run all the copper pieces through tumbler. I may just put it back together. I am definitely going to restring the other necklace, I just haven’t figured out how I want to do that yet.

I’ve listed some of these earrings in my shop:

I also found a fairly decent arrangement to take pics in front of my bedroom window. I’m excited about that, even though it is far from perfect. I will continue to experiment with that set up, so stay tuned!
