Bead stores often don’t hit the mark - same standard beads and high prices. You can find pieces like these at thrift stores! Unique and way too good to leave behind. These will be repurposed into limited, one-of-a-kind designs. 😍

The process:
1: before
2: discard the unusable pieces
3: soapy wash and prep

Sometimes even at that thrift store you have to splurge a little. The photo doesn’t show how sparkly these beads are - I’m excited to up-cycle them into something bougie!

First time seeing Mookaite beads 🤎 The earthy tones - mustard, burgundy, cream and browns are absolutely stunning! I’ll be using these for earrings.
I’m just learning about Mookaite but it’s known as a grounding, nurturing stone that encourages confidence, strength and trusting your instincts while staying balanced.

I’m reworking these thrifted pieces into something fresh. I love giving old jewelry a modern Indigenous twist.
Stay tuned to see how these turn out.
