Another Refashioned Necklace

I made this refashioned necklace for my sister's birthday.  It is made from a vintage Trifari necklace and a vintage cameo pin.  The medallion is crocheted from a black floral cotton print.  I gave her the option of selecting one of my other refashioned pieces but she liked this one.  She was impressed with how very lightweight the necklace is and she will be comfortable wearing it all day.  I enjoy going through my vintage jewelry stash and finding just the right pieces for my refashioned jewelry.  (Using items from my studio is one of my goals for the year)

Refashioned Jewelry

I've been experimenting with refashioning vintage jewelry with crochet fabric strip medallions and chains.  I listed one piece in my Etsy shop and it sold.  I actually used  fabric selvage  for the pendant that sold on Etsy.  I've made a few more but haven't listed them yet. 

Yesterday I decided to try using vintage seam binding for the crocheted medallion.  These are the two pendants I finished yesterday.  Each medallion features a brooch.  The top one is Monet.  There is no mark on the fish.    The medallions are attached to a simulated pearl necklace.  All these items were purchased at the thrift store.  I will be listing these on Etsy tomorrow.
