Joden Girl
Baubles, Bling, and Questionable Things
We all know that I’m a fan of conversion jewelry (last weeks bow necklace!) – but even I second guess myself occasionally… Are some pieces best left alone? Original? Take the above pictured Art Deco cuff links, for example. They’re lovely. And pristine. Made in the 1920’s from an unbeatable trio of platinum, black onyx, and dazzling diamonds – they would add instant style to the french cuffs of any shirt. However, I can’t help but imagine those little beauties dangling from my earlobes! We have made some incredible cuff link conversion earrings…
The Joden inventory is stacked with at least 100 pairs of really great cuff links, but the customers who are buying them are few and far between. That leaves me to ponder, cuff links or earrings?
What side of the fence do you fall on? Are you a purist – with your vote leaning toward keeping them authentic cufflinks? Or perhaps you’re vote is for re-purposing – giving new life to something that is longer useful? I can’t wait to see how it all shakes out!
