Upcycling Vintage Jewelry

I'm a big fan of vintage jewelry- especially stuff with glass beads. I like to pick up broken necklaces and incorporate the beads into my designs. Sometimes it's already a great piece and I'm able to just restring or repair it. I still sell items like that under my Richarme label, but I'm careful to put that it's "restored vintage". Here's a couple pieces in my shop right now that feature vintage beads.

Teal and Copper

Saturday, August 4th~

I made this for myself from beads I picked up in India. Originally it was a bunch of bracelets. I've only worn in a time or two in the last couple years so I've decided to list it. The beads and ring are a copper tone covered in a teal blue wash of paint. I had to restring one of the strands and now it's ready to go!
