If you are looking of ways to reuse your old jewellery then look no further. Many of us have a necklace that the chain has snapped or a few odd earrings that have been in our jewellery box for years. Often people just throw these in the bin when they are having a good sort out, but old jewellery can be reused again to make new.

If you are a bit crafty then you may want to try this yourself by buying some cheap chains or earing hooks and seeing what you can design. If not, then why not sell them as a job lot of spare jewels for others to recycle. You can even use them on cards, often jewellery pieces make lovely card decorations and can save you a fortune on buying them in the shops.

If you have quite a few odd pieces that you do not want to get rid of then you could make a charm bracelet, allowing you to still wear them.
