Upcycling Jewels

So I had this gorgeous necklace that I bought from Aldo awhile back when it was on clearance for less than $10.  The necklace does a great job of dressing up simple outfits, but I found the necklace just a bit heavy because it had so many strands. 

I decided to lighten the necklace up by taking off one of the strands and then turning it into a bracelet.  I think my upcycling project turned out very well.
