Back to Etsy, because it’s my favorite place to shop…
Let’s look at some jewelry today. Here’s a statement necklace that used to be a brooch. It hangs on a silver-plated chain that measures 18 inches. The neutral sandy tones make this a great choice for accenting Fall wardrobe colors.

Recycled and Upcycled Buffy Pendant

Got something special for fans of Buffy. I found this Buffy the Vampire Slayer upcycled glass pendant from Lucie39 at Etsy.
It’s made from recycled comics that are glued to the back of a glass tile , and then sealed with Diamond Glaze.
The glaze makes the pendant glossy, but not waterproof. It’s hung on an 18 inch green ball chain.
I’m featuring Buffy, because she’s my girl, but Lucie39 carries other comic and superhero stars, as well. These include Dawn, Vampirella, Madman, Supergirl, and Death. You can find them here and they range in price from $10-$13.
