We all have jewellery pieces in our stash that we rarely wear. From being an outdated design or having a broken clasp- such jewellery pieces often lie around for years without being put to proper use. If you are innovative, you can easily find creative ways of using such pieces or simply get them re-designed by a reputed jeweller. Anything from three stone engagement rings to a pendant can be repurposed in other ways than what they are meant for. Read on to find out all about how you can put your jewellery to optimum use.
This is one of the most common ways to repurpose a jewel. Often if you outgrow a ring or it simply belongs to someone of value, wearing it as a pendant is the best solution. You simply hang the ring from a thin chain around the neck. This way, you need not get the ring remodeled into a different piece and still use it fashionably.
Old vintage pendants are making a comeback in many ways. Especially if you have a small one lying around that you rarely wear, it can be added as a charm on a plain bracelet. It gives the bracelet a very obvious facelift and also puts your pendant to use. This works best with a thin and plain bracelet. Simply pass the pendant through the pendant’s hoop and you are done. Particularly, if you have a coloured stone pendant, it will add sufficient bling to your pendant.
Many of us have plain and long chains lying around because they are out of fashion today. Sometimes, simply they are sitting around because we do not have a pendant to style them with. In such a situation, you can simply wrap the chain around your wrist and wear it as a bracelet. The same can be done around your ankle to create an ankle. You can add a couple of small pendants as well to make it more sparkly. Even without such embellishments, the chain bracelet will still look gorgeous enough with the right styling.
Another quirky way to use a pendant is as a brooch for a dress or a shawl. This works best with a larger pendant or even lab diamond engagement rings that have a vintage design. The key is to ensure the piece looks prominent enough even from a distance. Simply pin the dress or shawl with a regular safety pin by concealing it. While pinning it through, insert the ring or the pendant through it and let it hang. The safety pin would be concealed while the pendant steals the show.
Last but not the least, are nose pins. If it has a twist system to secure its place, that will work great as a hair accessory. You can simply twist it through your hairdo to add a little bit of sparkle and secure it with a bobby pin.
All it takes is a little imagination and creativity to make the most of your jewels. The best part is, no one will know it is the same piece of jewelry if you are cleverly reusing it. Apart from the ideas we have shared here, there are many other ways to repurpose a piece of jewellery. It all comes down to the design and your creativity.
