Saving by Restyling Old Accessories


The Christmas Season is over and you're probably finding ways to save on your budget for a wardrobe update. There's no need to worry, because there are ways to start the new year right, without spending a fortune.

We do more than sell accessories to our clients. We also provide suggestions on how to maximize the use of accessories, and if they're on a budget, we suggest reusing beads and stones since you can always restyle them into new and interesting pieces. 

Original Necklace
Our first restyled accessory for this year is a simple necklace with stones stringed on black nylon. We created two new necklaces by separating green and brown stones. 


Palamuti by PJ Valenciano
The main technique used for both necklaces is called wire-art. We balanced the use of acrylic beads and mother of pearl shells to create a simple yet sophisticated design. 

The next time you are itching to spend a  shiny penny, and hoard new accessories, think again. Here are some cool projects you can work on!  Awaken your creative side and create art by recycling, repurposing and restyling.
