I enjoy redesigning<\/a> old jewelry. If it’s not being worn as is, why not figure out a way to use it again? That’s what I did for myself recently, though, to be fair, it is more a repurposing than a redesign because the change was so simple. I had a black-and-white diamond pendant left over from the inventory of my first jewelry company — the one I had with my late business partner<\/a>. The pendant isn’t like anything I design now, so it was languishing in a safe.

It’s onyx and white gold, and I think it will complement the diamond earring nicely. <\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
