For a long time I have come across lost trinklets like single earrings or broken jewelry pieces on the street that I pick up and take home with me. I always get ideas for fixing them and reinventing them into something new and fabulous. This is a test on my DIY arts &#038; crafts skills as well as a more fun and cheap way to add to my jewelry box. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>Here is project #1. A single chandelier with one jewel I found in the 14th Street Union Square subway stop in NYC. I grabbed it up and took it home to make it into a necklace.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-131 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><figure
