Remix or Remake:

             It's that time of year when everything is changing, from clothing, to school, to the weather, to food. So, you get out your fall-winter set of clothes and put away the spring-summer set. But then you look in your jewelry box and see the same stuff, your gold chain with the heart locket, your favorite pair of Christmas earrings, your diamond bracelet, etc. In the bottom corner you see the beaded bracelet or necklace that you Aunt or Grandmother gave you a few years ago. It's not really your style, so you never wear it, but it's special to you cause it was a gift from a person you love and you don't want to get rid of it. So what do you do? Leave it there for another decade? Save it for one of your kids, hoping it'll be their style? Don't you wish there was a way that you could remix or remake the piece to make it more your style, but still keep the same original beads?
Good news, you can! Sometimes a simple change makes a world of difference. If it's a very bright and vibrant piece then I can settle it down a bit. Or if it's dull and boring and you'd like something more exciting then I can add some pops of color and sparkle. Or maybe you like the bracelet but it's too big or too small, a few simple changes and you can be wearing it again. It's a simple and affordable way to keep a family heirloom original, but more to your style.
Let me know if you're interested. Thanks!
