I haven't posted any vintage jewelry repurposing "before and after" projects lately. Now is just as good a time as any, right?!
I was so lucky to be sifting through a jar of vintage jewelry to find these! I'm not sure if they were parts of earrings that had broken off, or charms, or what?! But I thought they would be a perfect component for dangle drop earrings. They are a gold leaf metal backing, with a pink rose clay enamel. Very sweet and dainty.

"before" repurposing- not sure exactly what these even were! |
I have some beautiful handpainted vintage beads that I just love that I knew would look great with these. I put them between two pale pink faceted beads so their color would really pop. Then they were attacthed to gold tone ear wires.

"after" repurposing- pink rose drop earrings |
Now they are functional and oh-so-pretty in pink. You can click over to my
