I love this creative use of stick pins. I have a few of them myself but I was wondering how it would effect the value of them in the future. I always hear appraisers say to never alter anything because it effects the value so I am always afraid to even get a piece fixed because I don't want to inadvertently ruin anything. I guess I watch too much Antique Roadshow! LOL
I would love to read how you made these. I have been collecting antique stickpins for more than 15 years now – would love to transform a few into rings. How did you do this? Or is it by 'secret family insturction only" 🙂

STUNNING! I am in love with the one in the center, with the seed pearls. Excellent idea to showcase a collection of stick pins
