What is Jewelry-UPcycling™?
Consider your jewelry wardrobe... What don’t you wear anymore?
Why?
Because…
it’s broke…
it’s out of style…
too long...
too short...
it never fit right…
it was never your taste…
the sentimental value is gone...
the sparkle is gone...
you are tired of it…
you lost part of it…
you just don't want it anymore, but it seems a shame to put it in a landfill.

Usually one only thinks about re-designing jewelry if it's made of gold and/or has precious stones.
Now imagine turning semi-precious and costume jewelry into something new.
This is a great opportunity to get together with your friends, relax, talk, and have some creative fun. Even if
you don't wear a lot of jewelry, there are pretty and practical things one can make with old jewelry parts.
Old jewelry can also dress up furniture, storage boxes, frames, etc.
Contributions are sorted and washed before reuse. Go to http://www.recyclechicken.com to send a
contribution to this recycling project.

The images on this page are from an UPcycling
Party™ with a team of Mary Kay representatives.
Only a few, of the approx. 18 pieces created that
night, are shown on this page. This one started
off as a variety of loose beads and features the
versatility of Just So!'s DC Connectables™ Clasp.

UPcycler:
Monica Tombers has been an Associate Designer at Just So! for 6 years and a fan of
pretty shiny things since birth.
She admires Denise (owner and principal designer of Just So!) because Denise is not
only talented - she completed and patented the very jewelry clasp solution Monica had
also been looking for. So from the moment she walked into the shop, she fit right in.
Monica has been designing and redesigning her own jewelry for much of her life and is
grateful that this is now a part of her work. She is always looking for the elegant and
practical solution. Working with clients to design special pieces is only second to
making those designs a reality.
Monica loves working with natural stones and other materials and has sold a number of
her own creations at Just So! and other shops. She is especially fond of jewelry that
can be adjusted "on the fly" to be the piece that is just right for an outfit. Her own
jewelry wardrobe has many interchangeable pieces, especially ones that work with the
wonderful DC Connectables™ clasp, earrings, or watch. Yes, she loves her job. After
all, Connectables™ are, as she likes to say, "Like LEGOs for Ladies." (... and yes, she
still has her childhood LEGOs.)

What UPcycling™ is NOT...
- This is an independent effort to recycle old jewelry.
- Items are not used in any items in the Just So! Store.
- All Just So! creations are made from new materials.
