Go ahead, peek into that tiny drawer in your jewelry box or the corner of your dresser where you keep all the broken and mismatched jewelry. If you are like most women, you have: 1) a single stud earring whose twin went down the drain; 2) a pearl or beaded necklace with a broken string; 3) a cocktail ring with a stone missing; and/or 4) a long, karat-gold chain that is hopelessly tangled.

The best thing about fine jewelry - aside from its beauty - is that it can be recycled, restyled and redesigned to produce a piece that will give you years of wearing pleasure.
