How To Harvest Rhinestones
A few people have asked how I harvest rhinestones out of my jewelry to be used to repair jewelry. This video shows how I remove the rhinestones / crystals from my scrap / broken jewelry to repair other jewelry that I have.

Thank you so much for this video. I asked subscribers oh how to do this and a very bright one told me to you tube it and low and behold I am subscribed to you. So thanks I have lots of the glued Gemstones one I soaked for a week hoping they would fall out.

[@PrincessCasserole]

Seaathy you’re welcome! It’s difficult sometimes but thankfully sometimes it works really well

[@BlessedBaubles]

I wet a glued in stone jewelry piece for only a second and the stones fell out!! I couldn’t believe the glue dissolved THAT FAST!!
I’m thinking, if you wet the piece a little, it might help soften the glue?
If you don’t want to wet the piece because of foil back, does the foil generally stick to the brooch? Or the gems?
How do you match stones to repair pieces of jewelry? That would make a great video! :)
Lastly, how do you glue the gems into the piece you are repairing?
Thanks so much!

[@irishwitch_4155]

Thanks for that tip. I have a few beautiful pieces that need sizes I don't have yet. I'm sure I'll find some soon.

[@PrincessCasserole]

Maureen Sutherland me too! I may just need to do an order soon.

[@Gogrannygo55]

Great video!! TY!! 💎💎

[@treasurejensen7682]

Great recycling idea

[@michellebarra2805]

Thank you! I was wondering how to so this!

[@susanwhite9768]

Can you show us how you replace lost stones in jewllery pls

[@joycestokes5753]

Can you place the jewelry in acetone for a few minutes to loosen them from the glue ?

[@PrincessCasserole]

Yes that works too. I’ve had luck with both methods

[@patriciagutierrez4791]

GRACIAS POR COMPARTIR

[@bargainshopping2771]

I'll have to do that to some of my jewelry to fix the ones I want to keep.

[@PrincessCasserole]

bargainshopping that’s what I do. Kill one to save another.

[@lanansabir4384]

I was looking for this video to do the same thingvhhhh

[@junetalsma5729]

Why is the foil backing needed. Do all rhynstone come with a foiled backing?

[@treasurejensen7682]

Ty so happy

[@SweetyPrincessMarghe]

can you do this and then put other crystals on the pin? Like, to replace them? I have a beautiful pin but the gems are not cute at all

[@bjebenstein]

Is there anyway to loosen one that is not coming out?

[@Dizsumboosheet]

So, what do you do with those bitterflies after you take out the stones? I will gladly take them😂. Even if theres no pin on back.

[@tasneemfatma6106]

Which glue is used to paste stones on this exact type of jewellery?

[@PrincessCasserole]

I’m not sure which type was used but I use hypocement to fix it

[@nafluv1133]

How to remove the glue from the jewelry after removing those stones

[@PrincessCasserole]

Pure acetone if there’s no paint on it

[@sheilawilliams5968]

It's pot metal not pop metal --I use cc and it often is wrong. Do bots do the cc? I don't know.

[@jill_fritchleyklusoczky4293]

TFS, I need to watch your repair video you made a while back again.

[@PrincessCasserole]

Jill _Fritchley Klusoczky it’s not that difficult once you’ve done it a few times :)

[@jill_fritchleyklusoczky4293]

Thanks for the Tutorials

[@PrincessCasserole]

Jill _Fritchley Klusoczky I hope they help!

[@treasurejensen7682]

Oops hit the wrong button...to see you mine these

[@PrincessCasserole]

Treasure Jensen I try not to let anything of value go to waste if I can help it.

[@RTC_Raven]

When you poked yourself I laughed, thinking that’s not a stone .... have you ever tried soaking them out?

[@RTC_Raven]

Or even soaking them to loosen them up?

[@PrincessCasserole]

Miss Raven haha I do it all the time! Good thing I don’t film myself hammering a nail. I don’t soak because it can take off the foil but if I just needed the stones out to replace that’s a good idea. Or if unfoiled.

[@sandramccormick8326]

Princess Casserole you could just re-foil the stones if they come off a piece without the foil, unless of course you're trying to keep the authenticity of the rhinestones.

[@PrincessCasserole]

Sandra McCormick I haven’t heard of a fool proof method for re foiling. Do you know of a good one? I’d love to learn one.

[@symndly]

Hi raven i would like to ask if there is anything to add on to the water to make them just fall out from soaking?
