    Here is a necklace that I re-cycled from some older necklaces and an old vintage brooch (not that special). I had some rubber flower beads that I painted with nail paint, and I like the result. I already wore it, looks great with black lacy dress.
    Vintage jewelry is great for such projects, only I love and admire that vintage stuff too much to re-use it, unless its already broken.

      Lentilka you are a talent!!! It's a beauty!!!
    2. davyd286, 8 years ago
      What a beautiful result! Could you add a photo of the back, I'd love to see how you attached all those pieces.
    3. lentilka11, 8 years ago
      Thank you martika and davyd286!
      Well, the back is messy and I am ashamed of it, that is why I didnt share it :)
      I should hide the wires with an identical back piece, but I did not have matching parts so I had to improvise.
      Here is a video how it should be done (this lady inspired me a lot):

      I think it is just beautiful. And nice to use old stuff to make new things.
      Let us see more of your production.... :-)

      How do you make them.. With glue? or how do you make it. ?
    7. lentilka11, 8 years ago
      Thank you Helle! Glad you like it!
      I rarely glue things. This was attached with a wire. Pls check this link how to do such design:

      Here is one brooch that I did in Miriam Haskell style (that video above really inspired me):

      It's wonderful Lentilka, and that back is so NOT messy!
      I love your brooch too.
      Very clever and creative you are!
    9. davyd286, 8 years ago
      lentilka, your pics are not showing, could you check the links?
    10. lentilka11, 8 years ago
      Thank you valentino97! I agree, I love to see things recycled! We live in a throwaway society nowadays, which is such a shame, if the item still can be used. That is part of why I love vintage fashion / flea markets, they give new life to old things.
    11. lentilka11, 8 years ago
      racer4four, thank you! Glad you like it!!!
    12. lentilka11, 8 years ago
      davyd286, I checked the links and they work, it worked for racer4four as well, could you pls re-check? Worst case I will re-post them, let me know.

      Wow! Amazing result, you did a great lentilkisation ;-D

      I love the fact you use only broken jewellery to construct new pieces! Bravo!

      The links work well, just have to wait the loading...
