Upcycle Jewellery - Hairpin Necklaces and Earrings

I like to use unusual materials to create beautiful jewellery and I'm happy to share my upcycle jewellery collection. I'm very proud of these designs and took the time to model one of jewellery sets (please see picture below)

Bronze and Gold Coloured Hairpin Necklace with Matching Earrings Modelled by Jennifer Quamina

I shared the design on one of my jewellery facbook groups and the reaction has been incredible, everyone loved it, I've also received requests for instructions, so that group members can make their own designs.

The picture below is my first attempt in creating a hairpin necklace and since writing this blog, I've sold the piece and re-created a dulpicate. The hairpins were purchased from a local retail store in the hair accessories department.

Silver and Bronze Coloured Hairpin Bead Necklace.

The pins come in packs of 50 in two shades namely silver  and bronze which contrast beautifully.

My personal jewellery set was created with bronze and gold coloured hairpins, many of friends have commented that the design has a egyptian look to the design and I have to say I agree with them.

I wanted to extend the jewellery collection and added beads to a third necklace I designed, I think the beads look so sophiscated and sit very well with the hairpins, they almost look regal



To finish off the collection I designed a pair of hairpin earrings. In the ring section I added a white swarovski crystal to complete the overall design. I'm very happy with these designs and it has spurred me on to hunt for other unusual materials to create more upcycle jewellery.
