One of my favorite pass times is to go to garage sales on Saturday mornings. Among other things I am always on the lookout for jewelry that I can remake into something fun and interesting. This Saturday I only found one piece, but what a treasure!
This necklace has lots of graduated beautiful blue crystals plus lots of large soft green pearls. They look like Swarovski crystals and pearls, but I am not sure. I think the combination of these pearls and crystals is not very attractive. But, it is geat for me to use in other jewelry.
Now for the really good part. This necklace cost me a grand total of fifty cents. YIPPEE!
Here are some close-up pictures of the pearls and crystals. If anyone has some advice on how to determine what kind of crystals and pearls these are, I would love to hear it.
Do you make new jewelry from rescued treasures?
