New Life for Old Jewelry! October 8, 2008

I’ve recently been lucky enough to receive some gorgeous vintage beads and jewelry in the mail from customers who wanted to see broken pieces restrung and old beads incorporated into new designs.

This is what my New Life for Old Jewelry program is all about!  For only a $5 labor charge (per strand), plus the cost of materials, you can refresh a beautiful older piece and make it wearable today!  This is a great option if you have lots of broken jewelry lying around or have recently inherited some of your mom’s vintage pieces and don’t really know what to do with them.  I even had a customer send me a huge box of items to keep, and I restrung four other pieces for her FREE, in exchange!  Even if your piece of jewelry is more recent, I’m happy to do repairs and updates.  Just contact me via phone (315-525-7474) or send me a convo through my Etsy shop.  I may ask for photos of the jewelry before you mail it to me, just to be sure it’s something I can help you with.  

Have a great fall, and enjoy all the offerings of the season!

My Best Friend’s Wedding April 10, 2007

This past weekend was my best friend’s wedding. I contributed the bridal and bridesmaids’ jewelry. It was fun and interesting to make jewelry for someone that I’m close to…it gave me a new perspective for all the other brides that I work with. My friend’s unique personality and renaissance theme challenged me to interpret those factors in the style of the jewelry that I created. Voila!Soon to come: photos of all of us wearing the jewelry…stay tuned.
