Going Green - Recycling Old With Lindsay Philip When we moved house recently I unearthed an old jewellery box of mine circa 1980s. There were quite a few nice silver earrings missing bits or earwires etc. I decided to recycle one or two and this is my first go. The original connectors just needed a good hard polish with a silver cloth. I added some new hand made silver earwires and then for beads I decided on the addition of some Hill tribe silver, two garnet chips and large rustic pearls. artisanwhimsy.net
