Among the items I inherited from my grandmother was a Timex watch without the stretchy metal band. My aunt had a similar watch and wanted the band, which was fine with me since I'm not a huge fan anyway, plus my wrist is much larger.
I'm loving the look of the bracelet watches where people have made a beautiful bracelet from colourful beads and charms and used those for the watch band.
How did you attach the bracelet to the watch securely? I don't want to lose the watch.
I did find that one person used the clasps from the Trollbeads and Pandora bracelets as well as the silver bracelet. I could do that. I already use two trollbead clasps to attach my medic alert tag to my trollbead bracelet and wear it 24/7.
I also want to buy a trollbead silver chain in 18 inches and wear some of my charms as a necklace.
I'm not completely sure I want to use the Trollbeads/Pandora because I love the vintage silver charms and rhinestones that won't fit on the trollbeads chain. I want to do something different and unique.
I also have a vintage rhinestone bracelet of my mothers that is too small for me to wear. I've been looking for a rhinestone brooch to extend the length and dress the bracelet up a bit. The rhinestones look like mystic topaz--the dark greenish purple ones that change in the light and with movement. I've been looking for similar beads or brooches for a few years now, and the colour is very rare. They're gorgeous and are really vintage while looking quite modern at the same time.
