A Heart with Bling....

Last year, a very kind, generous person sent me a box of old/vintage jewelry to repurpose.  It was a gift of treasures to go thru and think of all the new creations that will be made.  Example - A pair of  heart shaped earrings, black with rhinestones - one missing on one, one finding broken - but both ready to be repurposed  into  pretty creations.  This one, I replaced the rhinestone - not a perfect match, but looks great to me as it stands out..
Before
Pleased with the results.....
                           After

Actually I made this necklace a couple of months ago, started the post, but never finished it as I am thinking the rondelles between the faux pearls are too big.  However, with other things going on, enjoying warmer temps, and Spring flowers, the supplies have been put away for a while.

Linking up @ "Show and Tell Friday"
                       "Be Inspired"
                       "A Favorite Thing"
                       "Amaze Me Monday"
                       "Metamorphosis Monday"
                       "Make It Pretty Monday"
                       
Looking forward to a great weekend and hope you are also!

    I'm popping over from Claudia's "A Favorite Thing". I've been wanting to join you all, so I hopped in this week. I'm enjoying seeing what everyone is sharing, and I am glad you shared this transformation with us!

    The necklace looks great as it is. I'd buy it. I have been looking for something black with a little white for awhile. It's hard to find.

    How gorgeous. I wish I was smart enough to put things together like that. I love finding old junk jewelry...I just need to learn how to change it up! Hugs!

    Well...Glenda...it is good to know you have eyeballs, after all!

    I love that heart! As always, gorgeous work!

    We both need new glasses...it's been almost two years...last time it was longer. Anyhoo...I still remember the sticker shock from last time!! Hesitant about making an appointment...maybe I will drag it out awhile. Although, J is complaining about his frames. They sure don't make those like they used to!
