My grandma let me have one of her old necklaces. Although it was in several pieces, I thought it was gorgeous. I knew I could restore it to nearly its former glory. A lot of the beads were missing. In a giant stroke of impossible luck, I found the missing beads mixed in with some of her other beads in an old film canister. After finding the collection of small beads I had enough to finish the three remaining strands...

The metal had turned black, so I changed out what I could.

These are my progression shots. Here is the necklace with my first repaired strand.
The necklace with four strands...
And five strands as the original design.
