Reinventing Jewelery

I've been doing re-configuring some of the pieces in my jewelery collection, and have been quite pleased with the results.

I bought these two charm bracelets in Shenzhen, but both were starting to look a bit shabby, so I thought I'd combine the two.

I combined the charms onto the silver link bracelet, added a few rhinestone encrusted beads from the odds and ends I had on hand. I think the result is much more polished and wearable.

Ditto with these lovelies- fine, but perhaps a bit tarnished and dull looking.

Now reinvented into a cheerfully jingling charm bracelet...

and a keychain worthy of Helen of Troy. Have you re-invented anything lately?
