Red is my most favorite color and you would only have to look at my closet to know that. It's always a mood elevator for me. Yesterday my dear friend (and my driver) took me to a thrift store in a neighboring town and I found this precious necklace.
Beside the red glass beads there is a lot of intricate enamel work. Even though I fell in love with it I immediately realized it was much to delicate for my ample bosom as I am a woman of substance.
So when I got home I went to my stash of red and sparkly jewelry bits and parts. The very first thing I'll do is mount the pendant on a larger piece of filigree to give it some weight. I love the pendant on the filigree but it overwhelms the rest..
So I'll enhance the other parts from my stash. I've been wanting to use this large red stone in this brooch for some time and I think the bracelet parts will be perfect....maybe some heavier chain ...a fun challenge for sure
Then I looked on Etsy and found two pair of vintage earrings that will be perfect..

Tis a good day when you get a thrift shop trip and find something special to buy :). Hope you are winterized soon so you can blog some more.
ReplyDeleteso clever the way you adapt and make jewellery, love the etsy buys too. Could not sleep so about 3am watched an interview on tv with a lady from etsy and a man from ebay, very impressed with etsy, lady seemed more interested in promoting what her clients were creating than in making money from it, only taking a small commission, unlike ebay that seem to be in the market just for the money they make
ReplyDeleteWow, so gorgeous, I also am a red fan, my closet is full of red, pink, rust, black but no blue or green, isn't it funny how we are drawn to certain colours.
