About Red Papaya
I’m a girl that loves her bling. Years ago I discovered the beauty of vintage jewelry. I was amazed at how brilliant the rhinestones were and at how well made these pieces were. While collecting vintage jewelry, I acquired some broken pieces that I didn’t want to throw away. Instead, I decided to give them a new life by making them into new, beautiful pieces. I love the process of upcycling vintage jewelry into new pieces. View all posts by Red Papaya
