Reworking old jewelry into new

Been trying my hand at making new necklaces out of bits and pieces of old jewelry.  As I sort through the jewelry I try to find things that match in color and then put them together in an interesting way.

Here's one I made on Thursday of last week.
I bought the brooch a long time ago and just found it a few days ago.  It has a pretty pink petitpoint rose on it.  I found some pink beads, an old pink bracelet, some pearls, an old earring with a pink rose, and some gold chain.
This next piece is made from an old rhinestone necklace, vintage watch, old rhinestone earring and bits and pieces of other necklaces.  I hope you can see the detail.
Here is a sparkly rhinestone star necklace with small pearl-like beads.  Simple yet elegant!

All of these necklaces will be on display and for sale in my booth at Merchant Square very soon.
