Upcycled Beads, Gemstones, and More: Explore the Latest Collection of Handmade Jewelry

Summer jewelry is here with the latest drop from Jasper & Elm! With upcycled beads, pearls, and even some fun new studs, this is a further evolution of the style that I have cultivated over the last three years.

I have been working on upcycling jewelry the last year - I have reworked my personal jewelry collection using existing pieces, but I am now sharing these with the public!

On the left are necklaces featuring pearls and colorful glass beads from previously existing necklaces. However, the necklaces themselves were dated and had tarnished metal clasps.

It was extremely fulfilling to take these existing pieces and turn them into something completely new - and now that they are made with gold-filled clasps, they won't tarnish this time around!

This next piece, made of dyed serpentine and jade with a statement freshwater pearl in the center, is a special one for me.

I fell in love with the serpentine beads in 2022...but nothing ever felt "right" when I tried to use them. Then I pulled them out one day to challenge myself - and they turned into this stunner!

It may have taken two years, but the wait was worth it to have the final product be this elegant necklace!

But what about items for earring lovers?!

Don't worry! I updated the selection of studs available online - these are usually left for markets only. Now you can shop an amazing selection of simple studs from the comfort of your home, 24/7!

My personal favorite pair of studs available now are these little sunburst studs - they are gold-plated brass and are large enough to feel fancy without adding too much weight to your ears!

I hope you love this little summery collection - it is dear to me and I am really proud of it!
