Hand me down Jewelry… with a Twist to it can be a Knockout…



I got this necklace from my mother-in-law while ago… actually it belong to her sister… this was one of my projects from my -to- do list. All it needed was a little oomph or in other words a face lifts… I love the colors and works well with FALL outfits. I do remember buying the beads long time ago but never had the time to work on it… now that I needed something to wear for an outing. I thought I will give it a try to fix it so actually I can wear and use something that has passed down.

I did add in some gold plated spaces to add something to it and it worked GREAT… I used the old clasp since it was still in working condition. Did add new string… what I loved about this is its irregularity and inconsistency in the pattern didn’t change it a bit but did add few extra beads to give some statement to it…

Actually the lady at the bead shop loved it and said I did a phenomenal job. I love the feedback as you might have notice. I was able to get it done in few minutes… I was happy it was done… one project done from my -to -do list…

I cannot wait to try this with my fall outfit… so what are you up to or how is your to do list looks like… do you treat yourself with some fun… I am sure you do… life is too short you got a love it…

I would love to hear what you are up to…
Matter of fact I had a very productive week so far, was able get done some projects and that’s always fun…
