One Broken Necklace = 1 Bracelet and 4 Earrings!

Recently we were given some broken jewellery as the previous owner knew that part of the Sister Makes ethos is that we don’t like to throw out anything that can be given a second life and made into something beautiful.

After some consideration (and lots of fun) we managed to create 1 beautiful bracelet and 4 pairs of earrings leaving nothing to waste.

Hope you like them as much as we do!
