BE CAREFUL!!!!! That set my be worth more than what you think and you could be destroying something valuable. People often do not know the value of what they are yard selling. Even though a set design is simple, it’s age and who made it could turn that $35 into a lot more. My son is an antique dealer and appraiser and just save a valuable old wood desk from being turned into firewood simply because the children of the owner were clueless as to what it was, same goes for any purchase of “old” items, check before you destroy.

Carl, what a great idea! I would love to see some of the pieces you make from your reclaimed tea sets. Please share some pictures when you get time.

Brilliant idea, Carl! Especially since the pieces you’re cutting up have interesting shapes to work with. The metal’s history as a tea set (or whatever) also gives your jewelry a fascinating back-story that people would love to hear! Thanks for sharing this great idea.
