Sally Banks: New Work

Several of these items are from my ReDesign Series, incorporating old or vintage pieces from other jewelry. I enjoy working with these odds and ends. I usually find them at yard sales and thrift stores, discarded because they’re broken, tarnished or merely unwanted.

After cleaning and repairing them, they’re ready to become part of my new work. Many of the “found” pieces I work with are of higher quality that some parts available today — and in many cases they form truly one-of-a-kind pieces.
