Making Jewelry


Vintage chains, jewelry parts,  old rosaries and religious medals have been finding their way to my house for over a year.  I have acquired some lovely things.  This weekend, I surrounded myself with all of my pretty little jewels and finally started making necklaces.  It took longer than I thought it would to put one together so I only got four finished.  I have enough supplies to make lots more.  Now, if I could just find some extra time!!!

looks wearing all of the necklaces!

The chain was actually pretty much like this
when I bought it
I only made a few changes to it

  2. I love seeing what others do with old rosaries, necklaces and new beads - and how their Rosary Necklaces and other items end up! Yours are very pretty.

  4. How beautiful! I love the look of odds and ends from other jewelry put together to make something new. Crucifixes are one of the MANY things I collect, but I have limited myself to only white ones. Just trying to keep myself in check. :-)

    Joyfully,

  7. Rhonda,
    I love all of your creations. They are beautiful and remind me of my Grammy who spent her teen years living in a convent. I still recall her teaching me my rosaries.
    Love,
    Deborah
