Some of your Mamas jewelry may be worth a small fortune as is. If you take them apart without knowing what you’ve got, it’ll break your heart later.

Horbinsr, I’m looking forward to seeing the lovely costume jewelry pieces from your mother – and hearing everyone’s suggestions for you! 🙂

I was just inspired one day while browsing with my wife in some art-craft boutiques and started dabbling in wood. I would like to post some of the pieces I’ve done.
My mother recently passed away and I “inherited” a collection of very fascinating costume jewelry (which I’d also like to show).
My issue is … I want to incorporate some of her, quite beautiful pieces into my work but I’m a little stumped in how to combine them (vintage vs modern – mine are clean and simple and hers are very ornate).
I would appreciate any ideas anyone might have of how I could approach this and stimulate my “creativity”.
Thanks.

It was an awesome experience which seemed to bring out the best in me as I wanted to do work worthy of the beautiful pendants.

Your so talented. I love to make jewelry too. (as I’m sure everyone who reads this journal does) and I incorporate a lot of artsy beads and focal pendants made by other artists. It makes each piece unique and more beautiful.

Maybe they’ve made a neat pendant, or did a technique that I don’t do, like wire crochet. I like to incorporate those bits into my jewellery.

When I display the necklaces for sale at shows, I keep a stack of his business cards next to them so my customers can also check out his work.

I purchased a dichroic glass pendant from a local artist at a craft fair and can’t wait to design around it. My daughter created some wonderful tiny Taiko drums out of polymer clay (we both study Taiko drumming) and I made a necklace with a drum pendant. She liked it so much she made one for herself along with tiny Bachi (the drum sticks) hanging from it. It’s a creative challenge to design a piece of jewelry this way. By the way, I love the necklace you’re wearing!

Wrapping the 2000 year old arrowhead must have felt so surreal!!! I love buying a unique pendant on Etsy and creating a necklace around that piece. One customer had asked me for a mangnolia inspired necklace and I found the perfect literal pendant on Etsy with the photo of magnolia flowers. Then was able to make a gorgeous necklace using pearls and mother of pearl that complemented the piece perfectly!
