I had something special planned this week for a pair of art deco dress clips I have, while rummaging through my cupboards for supplies, you know how it is, you find long lost bits and bobs you forgot you owned, and end up concocting something entirely different, have you been there?!
In the early days of Coco loves vintage my main focus was on bridal jewellery, lets just say I have quite a stockpile of Swarovski crystals, I used to sell a lot of Swarovski heart pendants, mainly as gifts for little bridesmaids, to be honest I never really liked them, too shiny and new, ha ha- that was before I discovered the wonders of LOS, so all those spangly snake chains have been given the treatment!
What a difference!
A charm necklace using Swarovski garnet hearts, not forgetting the rhinestone spheres.
Earrings to match.
All the components I used in the jewellery above are all new, but have been given an antique look.
For this necklace I used one of my favourite vintage marcasite brooches, I left the pin intact so it can be worn as a brooch alone, I also used crystal connectors and garnet gemstone beads, I love the deep red colour.

I'm feeling a little link party love coming on :)

Ha, I just did a post this week on a faux tarnishing technique using boiled eggs. I wish I had known about your post earlier on LOS! I'll have to investigate that a bit further.
Thanks for linking to my party. It's fun to see what you link up each week.

Just beautiful! I love the blackened silver.
Just a few days ago, I did a post about a faux tarnishing technique using boiled eggs. When I clicked your link for LOS, I saw you had tried eggs, as well. I'll have to do a bit more investigation about the LOS.
Thanks for linking to my party. It's fun to see what you link up each week.

So happy you linked up at A Crafty Soiree! I'm sorry I'm a bit tardy in making all my visits. I was out late last night and we had a terrible rain storm when I got home. Not good weather for using the computer!
I'm always excited to see the beautiful things you've made. I love the red hearts, the earrings are so pretty, a little sparkle and some color. Perfect:) Thanks for sharing and I hope you'll join us for the newest one, it started today.
Just found your beautiful blog...loved looking at your beautiful vintage Jewelry! The vintage marcasite necklace is my absolute favorite! I just started blogging in September and I'm finding it an amazing way to connect with so many talented artists...thanks for the inspiration! Debbie
