    I have been doing this since I was a teenager this is how I started crafting jewellery. My mum and dad used to go round the charity shops when they were out and about and would always look for stuff for me to take apart and upcycle into really cool pieces. It's a a really fun way to craft jewellery and yes you would be surprised by the pieces you can create.✌️💚

      Absolutly, I always heard it called harvesting beads. The original configuration of the beads might not be current but can easily be updated with new beads added in.

    Been following you for years on and off - mostly because of your innate creativity. You make it all look so easy. I’m great at doing wire weaving and learning thru duplication. The originality is where I have difficulty of course. You’re also always so positive! Keep it up!

    You do the coolest stuff! I used to make bracelets about 20 years ago, then got busy raising a family. Now that we're empty nesters, I've been getting back to it, and my new favorite thing to make is earrings! Your videos help so much! I was just out and drove past a couple of stores, and I thought I need to go this week and see if there's any clearance jewelry I could take apart, then I saw this video! Keep up the beautiful work! 😍

    • @Dianelynn

      The brown with green bracelet you showed is made in Peru. The brown tube beads are usually bamboo. I know a couple from Peru who sell work like that , it is all hand crafted, generally more cottage industry in bulk.

    When my daughter came home for Christmas, she found some old jewelry. She enjoyed the beads on a bracelet, but the rest of it was beyond repair. I took the beads and some of my own to make her a beautiful new bracelet. There were also some lovely glass beads she didn’t want, so I made some lovely earrings. It’s amazing how you can recycle old jewelry and make something beautiful.

    So glad I found this! I have been making similar things for myself since forever, but now I thrift jewelry for resale and in doing this I get some very nice valuable pieces in great condition, resellable as-is for huge profit -- but I also end up with tons of broken pieces, or ones that have very nice components along with broken, chipped or dead stones, or destroyed findings. This is a great way to recoup my investment and enhance profit. Thanks for the ideas.

    You are super talented that I now have hearts all over my eyes! The simplest things! Your wire work is expert level for sure! Someone just gave me a bunch of antique jewelry. Although I saw a vision in recycling the jewelry, I now can take it up several notches since I was able to watch this video. I wasn't even looking for a video like this so I also thank RUclips for feeding me videos they know I will enjoy. Take care and stay creative!!

    Thank you very much for this excellent idea, to offer earrings, pendants, bracelets, etc. at a price of €5.00 or €10.00, I had already recycled some old and cheap pieces that I had forgotten in my jewelry boxes. Honestly, the pieces that we make by hand and with semiprecious stones cannot be sold at those prices. Whoever buys them should value them.

    I'm a resin artist, mainly these days. I've been making resin cabochons, etc. I sell my art at local craft fairs, and now (thanks to you) I'm thinking of learning more wire wrapping techniques for my resin creations.

  • @Mouse73

    You are fun to watch because you have a totally different style compared to me, but I'm always learning something because of that. I love that bead that you wrapped with the wire on a double spiral at 8:53. I might have to try that.

  • @ramonaandrews9510

    Hey Matt Ramona here, I love going to thrift stores and buying miscellaneous jars or broken or old jewelry for like $15 - $25 and I make my jewelry out of them my recycling clasps, beads, pendents, brooches(turnes to pendents), oversized earrings made into pendents...
    Ask family for jewelry they dont wear any longer or is broken...
    My room mate got me a broken jewelry grab bag of silver and art deco 70s pieces. All broken but I made 10 different items from earrings to necklaces with most of those beads I bought for my wedding(never happened) but it was meant to be for other choices and better decisions.
    Loving to be back here trying to catch a live auction but I continue to miss being here in Oregon...
    I'll keep trying, I'm marked for personal notifications but haven't gotten any yet. I'll send you my new business email soon...
    Miss you live, but loving your videos think I've saved nearly all of them...LOL 😂😂😂

    Hi Matt. I have been collecting jewelry, since I was a teenager. I started qirwwrapping, beading and two years ago I took metalsmithing classes. Now I have plenty of jewelry that I have made, repurpose jewelry too. I have invested a lot of money, and now I want to start selling my jewelry but I don't know where to start. I have two young children that I have to take care of, and I dont have the opportunity to go selling. I want to start an online store, but I am not good at navigating in the internet.

At 10:45 you placed a beautiful wire wrapping on the goldstone necklace. Why? They don't go together. I might buy the pendant for myself and the necklace for a friend but not together! Loved everything else!

    Hi Matt, enjoyed your video, always enjoy watching your jewelry recycle videos. I have tons of beads and I also like to find old and odd pieces to recycle into better designs. I can truly relate to the quote you made about how hard it is to sell your stuff, it's hard to sometimes give my stuff away but people don't mind going into places like Belk's and paying $40 and up for the same stuff. I'm working on rearranging and organizing my bead room so I can start back to making designs, would appreciate some ideas if you don't mind.

    Yes, the quality of the piece and rarity of the stones matter. However, it is also a handmade piece of art. Art is expensive. So people will pay more for it because they are getting a one of a kind piece. 😊
