 These are some of the Recycled & Retro pieces I have been given or found recently. Today I have been cleaning them and dislodging any loose stones and crystals etc. ready for fixing or remodelling. Two of the pieces are being fixed for a lovely regular customer. Most of the components had some lost stones or findings before I started cleaning, but after washing and brushing, many more of the crystals fell out of their settings and the painted coatings have come away from the metal. A few of the filigree stampings are now completely (or nearly) void of crystals. I will use them as blanks and not worry about resetting their original "stones".  A couple pieces are quite brittle so I am going to butcher them and use their crystals in other settings.These brooches, buckles, pendants, necklaces and other components can be remodelled or mended and provide many more wonderful years of joy to their now wearer while still retaining their history. I will list them in the Recycled & Retro section of my website, but if there is a piece you see that you would like me to remodel in a certain way for you, please don't hesitate to contact me and arrange to commission an item. With Love MaxineFaye |
