  • upcycled charm necklace by french ostrich

    Kitchen Sink Necklace

    $79.00

    A true French Ostrich original, this one-of-a-kind “Kitchen Sink Necklace” is a layered collection of salvaged treasures, unexpected finds, and beautifully mismatched details brought together into a wearable collage. At the center is a vintage Reed & Barton Damascene focal featuring delicate birds perched among pine branches — rich with old-world charm and quiet storytelling.

    Every charm, doodad, and component in this necklace has been upcycled from something else, giving new life to forgotten pieces and creating a necklace filled with texture, movement, and history. Sterling-toned hearts, vintage rhinestones, paperclip chain, and repurposed metal elements come together in a way that feels collected over time rather than manufactured.

    Finished on a 20″ paperclip chain with a 2″ extender for adjustable length.

    No two Kitchen Sink Necklaces are ever alike — and that’s exactly the point.

  • bullet shell tassel necklaces by french ostrich

    Bullet Shell Necklace – Only One Left!

    $49.00

    Look closely and you’ll see these tassel necklaces, part of my Re-Fabulous collection, are made from spent bullet shells. (I purchased the shells from a local gun range. I love to upcycle pretty much anything and everything.) After painstakingly cleaning the bullet shells, I drilled holes in the top. Next I sealed the shells using two coats of a protective coating so the bullet shells would retain their luster and prevent tarnishing and oxidation.

    The tassels themselves are crafted from old chain, much of it vintage, plus beads, Czechoslovakian crystal rondelles,bead caps, and whatever else strikes my fancy as I’m putting the tassel together. Each tassel hangs on a 24″ stainless steel ball chain, making the perfect tassel necklace!
