News :Jewelry Transformation

I love junk jewelry. I mean junk in the best possible sense, the young, hip, fun and playful type of jewelry found in the cases at Barneys Co-op. The kind of jewelry that even if I cannot own it, looking at it makes me happy.

Subversive was one such line that I admired but never thought I could own until a Target collaboration came along.

The chunky gold necklace I was previously admiring had quickly sold out and I pondered how I would fill this hole in my wardrobe. So I found a bracelet but a little too chunky and fussy to wear as a bracelet while still maintaining the signature Subversive look and removed the jump ring, signage & lobster claw closure with some needle nose jewelry pliers. Then I re-attached the jump ring to the other side of the chain. Cut and tied some velvet ribbon to the jump rings and Voila! I had a necklace! Sure it's not the same as the one I had in mind, but it serves the same purpose and no one else has it!

The part of the bracelet i removed (i did this before so this is another piece i'm just showing for visuals)

The ! bracelet that was slightly overwhelming for my wrist

The Finished Product!
