\nI’ve been rummaging around in my jewelry box for some jewelry to revive and came across some rhinestone bracelets, a brooch and screw-back earrings I almost forgot all about. These two bracelets are part of a new series I am exploring called, ‘Trashed Diva’.<\/span><\/p>\n

Trashed Diva in Blue (top photo) is made from 4 blue rhinestone bracelets, blue satin ribbon, safety pins + a costume jewelry set of earrings + a brooch with lovely blue stones. The rhinestone bracelets although they are metal expand so you can get them over your hand + around your wrist. <\/div>\n

\n<\/div>\n

Trashed Diva with Black Pearls is made from two white\/clear rhinestone bracelets joined end to end + accented with faux<\/span> black pearls on safety pins. I think the steel gray of the faux<\/span> pearls works really well with the aging metal + rhinestones.<\/div>\n

\n<\/div>\n

I love the romantic result of both of the bracelets as well as the trashy\/punk feeling the assemblage gives off. I hope to find some more rhinestone pieces to create more for this collection. What do YOU think?<\/div>\n

\n<\/div>\n

Now that my book on recycled materials in jewelry is finished and at the publishers, I’m finding a little more time to get back to making. These are 2 of 4 bracelets I have made in the last week or so. I will be posting about them all in the next two days. <\/div>\n

JEWELRY GIVEAWAY CONTEST UPDATE:<\/div>\n

I believe the contest guidelines are too labor intensive for everyone so I will be posting a new contest in the next couple of days. Keep your eyes peeled and get ready! All you will have to do to get a free piece of jewelry is leave a comment. Details soon…<\/div>\n

\n<\/div>\n

PEACE.<\/div>\n
