Examples of Recasting Necklaces, Beads and Chains

Recasting is the process of taking your old jewelry and remodeling it into something new and exciting.

We learned how old earrings can be used to jazz up an old handbag or pimp your old tired pumps.

Necklaces, beads and chains can also be used in a wide variety of ways to take your outfit to new levels.

Old Brooches

Take one of those old brooches and loop it in an old chain – now, you have a new pendant necklace.

All you have to do is make sure it sits straight, but only if you want to. There is nothing wrong with allowing the brooch to sit on an angle or adding more than one brooch to your chain.

Old Chains and Beads

Wrap those old chains around your wrist for an interesting bracelet.

This can be done lower down and left loose or you could sit them further up your forearm or even upper arm in a torc like fashion.

Have you considered looping old chains from your trouser fly button to the pocket? Done with enough loop, and this will look great.

As well, new trends in handbags for 2018 are seeing recast beads and chains being hung from the bottom of mini handbags.

It doesn’t matter if we are talking about chains or beads because either will look wonderful when you have recast them and given it new purpose.

If recasting is not your thing you can always resell your old jewelry on FashMates and make some extra cash.
