Guide to Spicing Up an Old Choker
by Wong Leong
Been rummaging through your mother old things or through a junk yard sale maybe? If you have came across a vintage choker or one that old but you see some great ideas in your head while you hold it, why not spice it up to your own taste and give yourself an awesome choker?
Check out the old choker and see what it is that you like about it and keep that while you change the rest. If you want, look around a garage sale, second hand shops or craft shops for some ribbons, beads, strings, buttons or whatever else you would like to change or add on. You could also break a few of your old accessories and use their parts.
Mix and match up new beads and jewels for a more modern look, add in some black and silver for something simple and sophisticated or throw in reds for something fun and flirty or just go crazy and mix up colours if you like. You can use the trial and error method to mix and match your beads, accessories and colours and keep the true vintage feel to it if you want. Maybe turn the old pendant into something cool by polishing it and adding a little glitter or something jazzy.
If beads are broken, change them and add more to make it stronger and if the strings are broken, change them. Maybe everything seems to be falling apart and you may have to start all over but you can keep its vintage feel by using same strings and pendant. If you want, you could change the clasp as well if it is broken or old. If you are not too sure on how to do it on your own, just take it to any accessory shop and they will get it done in a few seconds! Easy as that!
So start looking around second hand shops and find stuff for you to personalize your own choker!
