Jewelry remake

So in the past few weeks I have made the decision that I no longer am going to be selling Premier Designs Jewelry in home shows anymore... Sooooo I decided that I was not in love with most of the jewelry I had purchased from them and thought I'ed play around a little and see if I could make them into something I loved... so heres what I came up with... 

 Artzy - before

after

these are the earing's I made to go with the necklace...

 first attempt at wire wrapping a bead... didn't do horrible...

Island Girl - before

 

   After

for this necklace I also used the beads that were in the original matching earing's, in addition to the beads in the necklace I owned I bought some little tiny  blue beads that matched the little tiny green beads (not really sure what they are made of)... and I bought the round ceramic beads that had the same look to them as the oval ceramic green beads.

        

The earing's I made to go with the new necklace (made with the little tiny blue beads I had bought)

Rhapsody - Before 

(didn't take pictures of this necklace before so I stole some from an e-bay posting)

After

for this necklace I ended up purchasing a few different beads, and leaving out some of the original beads... for starters I changed the metal to silver (I am a big silver fan), the small square crystal beads are new, a bunch of the small round beads are new, as well as the oval glass beads and small flat circular glass beads

the earing's I made to go with it using the larger purple beads from 

original necklace that I didn't use in the new necklace

Cabo - Before

After

I know i went from a two strand necklace to a three strand necklace... however the new necklace just is not as chunky as the original...  I added a little bit of length to the necklace and did liked beads rather than stringing them together... I loved the beads in the necklace just couldn't stand how chunky it looked on me before.

        

 Before - Ignite 

After

I loved the beads in this necklace, it was just too heavy looking... I took the black bead out because it was just too big... I used most of the beads from the original necklace... I put the silver beads on one strand, the red beads on the second strand  and added the really small red beads to the third strand. 

This is what I changed the earing's that go with it to... 

Over all I am very pleased with how they all turned out... Now instead of picking my one necklace that goes with everything, I end up picking my outfit around the necklace I want to wear that day!

Now I want to make a necklace that goes with a dress I own... not really sure how thats going to go... I have looked for beads that go with the colors in the dress, but have not found any that I like... If I ever do make something that will work I'll make sure to post the pictures....

Also I plan to do another post including pictures of the finished pillows from my last post over a year ago... and I plan to take some pictures of the house and post those... I know we have been in the house for over a year and I have yet to take pictures of it... I'm such a slacker... however we are looking to do some re-modeling over the next few years and I want to make sure I have some before pictures!!
