Repurposed Jewelry
STATUS- COMMISSIONS ARE COMPLETELY FULL FOR THE MONTH!
There is just SOMETHING SPECIAL about that sentimental piece that sits in your jewelry box. Whether it be from a special someone, was inherited by a loved one who passed, was an heirloom, or maybe it is something that was once beautiful but over time it has become broken and cannot be worn...
Let's take your special pieces and breathe NEW LIFE into them rather than let them collect dust at the bottom of your jewelry box! I LOVE to utilize these special pieces and create something brand new, modern and USABLE and incorporate them into your everyday fashion regimen!
My FAVORITE project is a sentimental one, but maybe you just have a lot of BROKEN jewelry, DON'T TOSS IT OUT! Let's get to work!
Every project is COMPLETELY UNIQUE. I've created bridal hair pieces, earrings, necklaces, hair clips, bobbi pins, brooches, you name it. I can use diamonds, gemstones, brooches, earrings, or any other item you may have that you can't seem to part with, but never wear!
Below is a compilation of my most recent projects. The prices range based on labor, complexity and materials. Here is a selection of some of my favorite recent projects. I will never surprise you with your total nor your finished piece. I will work with you from beginning to end to ensure that your pieces are delicately and purposefully used to create something(s) that you will ADORE.
Please email me with photos of your items and whatever inspiration you'd like to share with me is ALWAYS welcome! Let's dream something beautiful up together and make it something you can cherish for a lifetime.
1- Bridal Crown: This half halo was created solely from TRUE vintage stones. My customer had a collection of beautiful brooches and clip on earrings that she wanted brought back to LIFE! Every stone was preserved in the process and the finished project was angelic and used on her wedding day.

2- A Colorful Bridal Comb: This comb was sourced entirely from 11 different pieces from my own personal vintage jewelry collection. My bride wanted a classic bridal hair comb with subtle hues that matched her wedding colors to compliment her dress. This was her only request with this project and we were both thrilled with the final product!

4- A Broken Collection Turned Beautiful: This project was a blast; I had a customer who sent me a combination of sentimental and broken pieces from the bottom of her jewelry box. She gave me her budget line and said "You have free reign." Those might be my favorite words when being asked to create! Her 7 vintage pieces resurrected to become 21 new hair pieces.

5- Hugs From Heaven: One of my sweet customers inherited her grandmother's beautiful jewelry upon her passing. This customer loved the sentimental pieces but wasn't sure how to incorporate them into her everyday accessories. She privileged me with the task of breathing new life into these beautiful pieces. We were able to create some modern everyday pieces from her grandmother's special jewels. This project brought happy tears to my eyes.

6- A Sentimental Vintage Bouquet Headpiece: This customer was looking for a sentimental gift for the Mother of the Bride! She sent me a large package full of vintage jewelry and asked me to create a timeless piece with her special gems. I loved this project and as it began to take form, I was able to include a complimentary smaller comb that could be worn everyday in addition to the fancier piece.

Customization pricing is dependent on the project but starts at $850. This is one of my favorite elements about hair candy, so please, email me with your thoughts, ideas and inspiration and we'll work on a project that's perfect for YOU! Jewelry is meant to be worn, not stored.
