Inspired by Jewelry Designer Brehan Todd, I headed to the local Red, White & Blue to search for treasures to make a statement necklace. I found some really nice spring themed vintage chains and brooches for the project and headed to my studio to start creating.
 |
| My treasures...$1.50 each!
The chain that I chose was quite long and I wanted to create a choker style statement necklace, so I removed the original clasps and doubled the chain to the desired length.
|
 |
| Set up your work space and choose tools. |
 |
| Decide which treasures to use. |
 |
| Remove clasps or other unwanted findings. |
 |
| Attach clasps to create desired length. |
 |
| This vintage brooch needed the pearls restrung and reattached with eco-resin. |
 |
| Remove the brooch pins and attach to the chain using eco-resin and/or a soldering tool. |
 |
| Voila! A beautiful Spring vintage choker style statement necklace! |
