Custom Necklaces Created for Two Sisters from Mother's Sentimental Stash

When Faith arrived at the house of her mother who had recently passed away, she found many little boxes and baskets filled with years worth of costume jewelry. She gathered what she could manage and brought it home - thinking she or someone she knew might be able to use it. A few months later I ran into Faith at an event and she expressed that she would like to donate her mother's old jewelry to my collection of vintage finds. I was honored, and offered to create something special for Faith and her sister from a few of the old pieces. She then visited me in the studio, equipped with a heavy bag full of all sorts of trinkets. Here's a small glimpse of what she brought (there were three more piles!):

After asking Faith about the style and interests of herself and her sister Rebecca, I dug through the piles and created the following pieces entirely from reconstruction - no new materials were used.
