Jewelry Fixer Upper


Written by: Justice Lawrence

We have all been in a situation where the jewelry that we love is no longer wearable do to either lost pieces or discoloration. Whenever I lost an earring I use to toss the left over one in the trash until I made the discovery that a single earring can actually be useful. Now whenever I am stuck with one earring I save the single earring to later use as a pushpin. It’s way cuter than using boring thumbtacks or nails that you have to spend extra money on. I’m sure we all have a random earring just laying around in our jewelry box, and now you have a reason for keeping it.

You don’t want to admit it, but the bracelet you worn the last few weeks is tarnishing and is no longer wearable. But no worries, dip dying your jewelry will bring your tarnished or discolored jewelry back to life. I discovered the idea to dip dye your jewelry by Andreaschoice on YouTube. You can achieve this by taking nail polish and make up sponges, something you probably already own, to give your jewelry a new look. With the many nail polish colors available your options are endless in creating a new look.

It really sucks when you break a jewelry item and lose most of the pieces. Sometimes the pieces you saved after you broke your strand of pearls are not enough to make it into another necklace or bracelet. If this jewelry item meant a lot to you because perhaps it belonged to your grandmother, you could always turn the left over pieces into a keychain so you have something to hold on to. Finding ways to revamp your old broken or discolored jewelry is a smart way to save money and allows you to hold on to jewelry you’re not quite ready to part from.

Summer Jewelry

Diamonds are the only Ice I need this summer.

Summer time is right around the corner and there is a lot of jewelry styles you can incorporate in your look to be on trend. With summer coming in, you can expect to see sea shells everywhere, including jewelry. The seashell style is definitely the look I’m most excited for this summer because of its ability to look casual, but also timeless and classy. The coffee bean trivia shell is a great way to enhance your summer style whether it’s in your jewelry, hair or sandals.

Summer wouldn’t be summer if wasn’t for all the fun and bright colors you get to sport, and jewelry is no exception. Whether your jewelry style is chunky and funky or sweet and petite, adding colorful pieces is a sure way to look summer fun. One color for sure that screams summer and looks good with lots of outfits is Turquoise. If blue is not your thing, than yellow jewelry is another great addition to a lot of outfits you may consider wearing this summer.

When I hear summer and accessories in the same sentence I immediately think of Coachella. So it’s no surprise the next jewelry style I’m going to mention is bohemian. Most bohemian style jewelry is about looking earthy and free. Usually the term earthy would mean green and leafy, but the earthy I’m referring to is the elements that makeup the earth. Therefore, to achieve this look you can mix and match chunky metals, flowy fabric, gemstones, and leather jewelry pieces in your wardrobe. When I try to rock a boho look, I like to purchase ethnic style jewelry.
