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.
