My heart breaks knowing people melt down exquisite and rare working old watches or pull them apart to harvest the gemstones.
If something is broken or worn out, sure, but not destruction just for the gold melt value.
I like to repurpose.
Ive done a few watches to bracelets and a few brooches to necklaces or bracelets.
