remodeling family jewelery ... ideas please.

[cutewithsharpteethpossibly]

My aunty and grandmother left me a collection of gold jewelery years ago, mostly gate bracelets, chains and rings from the 1970's /80's that really aren't my taste. I'm thinking of having them made into something to wear everyday to remember them, rather than just sitting in a drawer, I'm not the most creative person, can anyone give me ideas on what could be made please?

Bump, what a nice idea. How about a plain bangle?

Why not find a jeweller and see what they say when you show them what you have. Maybe take some examples of what you wear everyday and what you like in dress up styles?

This is the sort of thing a friend of mine does for a living and he would be happy to chat through some ideas. His workshop is in London. PM me if you’re local and interested.

Take it to a jeweller and they can give you an idea of the possibilities given the weight of metal/any stones etc.

thanks everyone, there is a jeweller in town, I'll take it this week.
