The base is the bottom half of a watchmakers tin; the pocket watch face was a perfect fit inside the tin. The bling in the center was a clip on earring, and everything else was rescued from four or five different pieces of jewelry.

These models are from one of the antique magazines I purchased last summer.
The Designer, May 1911.

I recreated this necklace from bits and pieces of three different necklaces and an old brooch.

The brooch wanted to be a focal point.

I decorated the key necklaces with vintage clip on earrings and rhinestones.
The tiny hinge bracelet is a remake of a similar one I made a while back.

The bracelet is a little big for her, but I still think she wears it well.

It doesn't look repurposed at all Betsy. It's beautiful and knowing the fact that it was repurposed adds more love and beauty to your works. I love it!
I can't believe this but your jewelry is getting better every time! You are one classy artist!
I really LOVE your style, Betsy...beautiful creations!
I LOVE that top piece.
I have several of those watch backs, just never get anything done with them.
