I hope the repurposing of jewelry pieces will become a regular thing on your channel, I LOVE seeing the amazing things you create, it's so inspiring!

[@nmp6338]

You are so creative, interesting and articulate. I love listening to you. Your enthusiasm, joy and passion are very evident in this post. Your creations are lovely and very inspiring to those of us who have lots of jewelry in need of repurposing.

[@leftcoastrevivals]

Nancy Pacitto Thank you so much for the sweet words Nancy! 💙

I have been making and restoring jewelry for 47 years. I enjoyed your spin on reworking jewelery.

[@geslinam9703]

I have a lot of vintage Native American jewelry, especially navajo, been wearing it since I was a teen. I have some really old stuff that my grandfather bought in his travels, and a lot that I’ve picked up myself over the years. My favorite piece a friend found when ripping cabinetry out of an old house, it was wedged between the wall and the back of a cabinet, the silver totally black with tarnish. I had it appraised and was told it was navajo, pre 1920. It became my most favorite piece. Can’t even begin to describe to you the LOVE I had for this ring. Anyway, about 5 years ago, I left it next to the kitchen sink and one of the cats knocked it into the sink, into the garbage disposal. You can guess the rest. I was sick over it, would have rather seen my diamonds go in that garbage disposal. Anyway, the ring band is so thick that the ring was not completely mangled - and right before the quarantine started, I finally found a navajo jewelry dealer out west who has a navajo silversmith who thinks he can restore it. As soon as this mess is over, I’m going to send it to them...can’t wait to get it back.

[@jacqueline4445]

Laura you are quite a good artist. I love the "recycled" pieces you created, you have such a good eye. They are truly unique pieces. 🦁

[@leftcoastrevivals]

Jacqueline 444 Thanks!! 🥰

[@nancyjonesart9484]

Fun to see all your jewelry. Thanks for including your created pieces.

[@Fluffywuz]

Love that you have your own channel now Laura as well as the Recycled Life. Love watching both channels as well as Selena’s Vintage Bombshell channel. I have three favourite channels now 😊 Was so interesting to watch your design process and I love that these old single earrings don’t go to waste.

[@hollyhuber675]

So glad you are re-purposing single earrings - inspiring! These might otherwise end up in landfill due to popular aversion to wear "mismatched" pairs, but if you stick to one metal theme and a limited palette of stones and motifs it really works! Good eye Laura!

[@joytoyouandme4593]

This video has now inspired me to go through my bits and pieces and revamp some jewelry. I always have a difficult time throwing broken pieces away, and also have some vintage costume pieces that belonged to my grandparents. Never thought to use pins on purses or wallets, my Grandfathers tie tacks may be nice for that.... You have such a good eye, a true designer...

[@catirodriguez6290]

Love your collection and the way you displayed it on the tumb nail with the cactus and everything 😍

[@darkseanymph7411]

I repurpose broken jewelry too but I always keep them to myself because my family and most of my friends think they are junk and they would be surprised that I keep them. They haven't seen my designs but because of you, I started posting them. They are not as good as yours but you really inspired me to get out of my shell. Thank you. ❤

[@leftcoastrevivals]

That’s wonderful!! It’s always good to be creative 💙 I bet they’re fabulous 😘

[@ellenrawls7557]

I am always staring at your white turquoise ring. It is beautiful. Wish it was mine. Love all your jewelry!

[@bethpitsor5808]

Some ladies are going to be happy with those styled pieces Laura|!! Great creative work!!

[@saraj6305]

Laura can you share how to shop on craigslist/FB for mid century, how to decorate walls, top 10 tips on how to make home mid century, furniture talk, plants (including what plants and how to install) etc? loveeeeee your style so hard !!

[@leftcoastrevivals]

Sara J Several of those are in the works! 🙌😄

[@lisarinehart5395]

Smfoing back to the first video I could find. Love your channel ❣️

[@jewelsapp1806]

Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful jewelry making process!!! Love you and your channel 😘🥰please take care and stay safe and healthy!!!💕💗

[@Laurielalalaurie]

Yay Laura!! You did a beautiful job with re purposing those necklaces! Here's a tip for that one with the blue beads: just remove the dangle piece with the shoe clips and keep that small dangle with that pretty silver bead. Sometimes less is more ;-) I used to make jewelry (silver wire work) 20 years ago, and I miss it so much! My hands are busy being a massage therapist now, which I love. Stay well! Much love!

[@leftcoastrevivals]

Laurielalalaurie Magic hands! Being a massage therapist is an incredible talent! 👏 Not a bad suggestion at all in regards to the blue necklace! 💙

[@HUDSONVINTAGE]

I agree! I used to design repurposed jewelry as well. It's how I started my collection (p.s. I have a YT channel on that) ~D

[@jessicasalinas207]

Awesome, I loved this video. Thank you for sharing your remakes, they turned out fabulous. 😊💕

[@sharongruener6078]

You do wonderful job at jewelry design Laura. Thanks for sharing.

[@purrpkp]

I am so glad I cam across your channel. I am amazed by your creativity. Such beautiful jewelry!

[@melissaschurman7630]

Awesome the way that you figure out how to do all that and your personal jewelry is beautiful

[@jellygirl43]

I love seeing your creativity in repurposing the jewelry pieces into one gorgeous piece....I need that amber piece! Keep filming those videos, please! You are very talented!

[@leftcoastrevivals]

jellygirl43 Thanks for the support! 🥰 I’ve got a handful in the works right now! Looking forward to sharing more design based videos 😄

[@londondaze]

It makes my day when I get to see you. I just love your spirit and your enthusiasm for life. You inspire me to make more of each day and bring more to each day. Thank you!

[@donnaallgaier-lamberti3933]

I am an admirer of silver/turquoise jewelry, esp. vintage styles.

[@mtherese13]

And....I love the bracelets. You can never have nor wear too many awesome bracelets!

[@88hhg]

I love the repurposed jewelry! You did such a great job. Your personal collection is, of course, lovely too.

[@michellelockett6518]

Awesome video love repurposed old jewellery into new pieces 👍

[@lesleypearson1532]

Lovely to watch so refreshing and exciting. My mind has become full of ideas for all the broken jewellery I have and your tastes in Jewellery are so very much like mine. When someone says a piece of vintage antique jewellery is worn or needs attention I never like to do to much as I think that every piece has it's own story but that is one thing I would love to know more about. Thank you sweet lady xxxx

[@kellygrant4759]

The pieces you made are so pretty! You're very creative!

[@restlesssoul5853]

Wow! What a creativity! I love your upcycled jewellery!

[@lindahill3]

Wow! Really loved the necklaces you made......so beautiful. My favorite is the one with the steer head and I don't even wear jewelry! Your face is so lit up from within that you look radiant. You have plenty of years to sell your things so if you are the least bit hesitant to sell a piece than you should keep it as there is always tomorrow.. Great video--can't wait to see what else is coming. You are a multi-talented lady so your channel will be very exciting. TFS

[@leftcoastrevivals]

Linda Hill Thanks Linda! That steer one is such a cutie! I had a very proud moment after making that one 😂 🐮 I really appreciate the support and encouragement! I’ve got some fun decorating episodes in the works! ☺️

[@gloriabhendrix1940]

GREAT VIDEO!!!! I love jewelry and I have never watched a video that was so mesmerizing as this one. Beautiful jewelry and your presentation was outstanding. Thank you so much. We need more talented people like yourself, that can talk about jewelry, clothes, crafts, etc. Again, thank you for your video!!!!

[@georgiecampbell5949]

You are so creative Laura. Your jewelry is beautiful. ❤

[@yolandacornejo9347]

You have wonderful creativity. Love your creations. 👏👏

[@sharonfinney8751]

Oh how I need to thrift!!! I may take my not so loved jewelry and breaking it apart to make new. Laura, Laura, Laura!!! I never knew white turquoise existed. It is so gorgeous. Could not take my eyes off that ring. Never let that one go.

[@leftcoastrevivals]

Sharon Finney It’s called White Buffalo Turquoise, forgot your mention that part in the video 😄 Spendy! But so beautiful!!

[@LindaAKeller]

The work is beautiful and often totally unique and unexpected. Keep at it. You have a gift.

[@leftcoastrevivals]

Thank you Linda! ❤️

[@lizziandlewy8803]

Great video Laura. You are a breath of fresh air to watch. What an amazing collection of beautiful sparkles. I have been hitting eBay quite a bit too. Got some lovely vintage pieces to add to my own collection. 'YAY' for eBay! Stay safe 😷 Stay happy! ✌ 💚 xx

[@ari_mas_cas3484]

I just found yours and Selena's channel! Your videos are a thrift/vintage shopper's dream!!

[@edwardmahony8160]

Wow! Great video! Loved all the neckleses you created! And your own jewerly collection!!! Wish we had real south west jewerly here in ireland but sadly not!!! So i love to live true other peoples!!!

[@angelsmith4467]

Beautiful pieces you created ❤️ You own some beauties too❤️

[@brandyrios7671]

I didn't read all the comments but in case no one told you The bull with the ring on it is a charm holder. One side opens so you can slip a bunch of charms on it. The chunky chain that you thought was a bracelet is an older watch chain. It may have been made into a bracelet at some point. Great video!

[@laksitamochtar]

You should make video more often Laura..this is so much fun to watch🤩

[@ramonasturge1360]

Love all your jewelry ..beautiful turquoise pieces

[@pauladonnelly3367]

Love you much and your videos are awesome. So happy your channel is up and running.

[@wendytegart376]

Hey LAura- Congrats on launching your own KZbin site and Happy Birthday! By the way, your cool style and eye for home decorating is amazing. You are also looking healthy and happy!!! Big fan from Calgary Alberta

[@jimandjudyc48]

The turquoise squash blossom earrings...wow! Love them! And the wallet with the roadrunner pin...now I am going to look at my jewelry and see what I can pin to various small wallets and purses! My favorite necklaces were the amber necklace and the one with the steer's head and turquoise stones. But really, they were all wonderful.

[@dwagnerful]

Laura, never knew you were so talented! You're boho jewelry is fabulous! Great work!😊👍

[@leftcoastrevivals]

Thank you! 😊

[@raquelburt9628]

That was such a treat!!! Love your vintage jewelry ❤️

[@sassyripleyful]

I knew I was going to love your video . I thumbed it up before I even watched it. So giddy that you pulled the trigger and put up your own channel. I love love love your style!!! You rock girl. Your so cool.

[@leftcoastrevivals]

sassyripleyful haha Thanks girl!! So pumped to make more videos and share more! 😆

[@kathleenwestfall5140]

You are such an inspiration for me to try this with some of my older pieces. I have a friend who used to make jewelry so when quarantine is over I'm going to ask her for some lessons. You & Selena are so much fun to watch, can't get enough of your videos. Hug & blessings from Texas.

[@melodybecker2309]

The chunky chain is a watch fob!!! For a pocket man's watch!!! Should be an antique!!!

[@bettyj.5465]

Loved your personal collection! All that turquoise! 😍

[@Mayhuen29]

Best video I’ve ever watched! Loved your personal collection and your creativity!!

[@zenaidaamaral7912]

Loved every single piece from your collection...especially the ceramic piece ! I think you should keep the turquoise pendant it’s so beautiful...! I really enjoyed this video so much! 👍🥰😘

[@leftcoastrevivals]

Zenaida Amaral I think you are right! 💙 I’m going to keep it. At least for a while! 😄

[@leopardspotsmusic]

Great eye for the good stuff! Enjoy your channel! ❤

[@josephinerunci6052]

Nice idea to make a new piece of jewellery out of a bunch of single pieces. Good job!😉

[@danapotratz3616]

Such a good eye you have to create beautiful pieces from broken/missing ones.

[@susancollier1791]

I enjoy this KZbin so much!!! You have such a wonderful gift! Thank you Laura for making my life brighter. Blessings from Roseburg.

[@karenwilliams5468]

Awesome creations, great designs. Loved your collections was fun to see it and the history behind it along with some testimonies😊 did love the double sided wallet and the sweet turquoise tiny roadrunner for identity purpose, so sweet. Thanks Laura for sharing, really neat pieces🍃💙🍃 take it easy, keep well~♡~

[@leftcoastrevivals]

Karen Williams Thanks Karen! That wallet was such a great Goodwill score! Normal sized but so much room in it too 😄

[@thesoulfultrampjami3892]

Loved this video! I do the same with bits and bobs of old jewelry, my favorite rabbit hole to fall down. You created some beautiful pieces. Cheers to a great start to your new channel 💟

[@Julia-Julia9093]

I love love love the necklaces you made!🥰😍🥰😍 The style oh man I'm loving them, make more❣❣❣

[@psedineh3427]

Love your jewelry. I love, love, love silver jewelry, especially if it has turquoise. Also, thanks for sharing your lovely collection. I really appreciate you showing how to repurpose random pieces. It's inspired me to create time for my jewelry making & recreating. I'm glad you and Selena have your own personal channels, plus the combined one. It's great bc I love both Victorian and modernist styles. Keep em coming.

[@sahondraniaina6214]

I love it. Laura you are an inspiration to me!!!!

[@nikkifangaiuiha1986]

Loved all the pieces in your collection Laura you have a good eye for fashion like your style. From a fan of the recycled life. Xxx😉

[@evie6304]

Beautiful stuff Laura...you are so talented!

[@heyitsme9258]

I love your cactus 🌵 jewelry holder. So pretty.

[@leftcoastrevivals]

I recently broke it 😭 Hoping I can get it soldered back together. I’ve never seen another one like it.

[@dawnj9121]

Your pieces are beautiful. You are very talented.

[@ankiolebring9136]

Loooove the pewter 😍 and the repurposed 👏🏼 Been doing repurposed my self for 35+ years just for the joy of it ( and of course selling stuff!) So inspired now, but it's gardening season so it has to kind of brew till fall 🙏🏼🙋🏼😘

[@carrienorris4364]

Can't wait for the sale! Everything turned out so beautiful ❤

[@averysworld2711]

This was such a wonderful video! I loved seeing your personal collection and the items that you repurposed. You are very talented and so creative. Thanks for sharing!

[@heididepotter8136]

I love to see you crafting. My favorite is the amber one

[@nickydenning6988]

Thank you Laura!! That was so much fun to see some of your amazing jewellery collection, & now I can't wait to get stuck into sorting through my own bits & pieces tomorrow & see what I can come up with! (been gathering for a while now, at local thrift stores and off eBay, but when I saw that you were going to be doing some repurposing, I decided to wait & learn from the Master 😊). Stay safe beautiful soul xoxo.

[@leftcoastrevivals]

Nicky Denning How wonderful! Hope you have a blast making new pieces! 💙

[@paulahubbard9704]

the gold thing you thought was a bracelet, is a watch fob. The necklace you made from it turned out really cool!

[@micheleharris2730]

Those are all beautiful! Nice job! 😊🙃😊

[@jackietaylor4196]

The Amber necklace you created is beautiful💜😊

[@annettemurielle]

I absolutely LOVE your creations! You are seriously gifted!

[@cltinturkey]

Happy to see your new channel, and I love the Recycled Life too. Recycling jewelry is wonderful. I imagine we all have a few lost earrings and other favorite "wounded" jewelry. I'm going to amass mine and let the idea factory start creating. Thanks and good luck with your new venture! PS - Keep all pieces you enjoy. You can always sell them later, but never get them back once gone.

[@sisic1472]

I love your creations. You are so talented! I look at all those separate pieces and get anxiety and you make it look easy. Beautiful!

[@francesedwards4369]

This was a great video... Loved the repurposing section. Very talented!

[@terrilynch6228]

White torquoise?! What!?! Gorgeous💖

[@clothdoll]

This was so much fun! You have absolutely incredible taste; I was drooling over just about everything you pulled out! You inspired me to dig out some of my own favs and wear them today. I also ordered a couple of pieces from the April sale and am SO EXCITED for them!!

[@leftcoastrevivals]

clothdoll Thank you so much for the support of our April sale!! 🎉 It means the world to us, especially right now in these uncertain times... I’ve started trying to “get dressed” every other day and wear my jewelry 😂🙌

[@judygillespie3242]

You are so talented. Happy you are doing something you love. Great video.

[@nalenkasims]

I'm so glad you decided to start your own channel. I look forward to each episode of you and Selena, now I can view you here. You are a fantastic jewelry designer, loved all of your pieces. Was happy the kitties made an appearance.

[@tammieparrishmiller3669]

You've inspired me to get my "stuff" out and get creative again. I just need the yard sales and flea markets to start up again! I'm jonesing! I love, love, love everything you put together and can't wait for the May sale!
