&amp;quot;There&amp;#39;s no better way to spend a dreary summer weekend than digging through your mother&amp;#39;s or grandmother&amp;#39;s old jewelry collection. My mom and I cleaned out her costume-jewelry drawer a few weeks ago and not only did we have some great laughs while we reminisced (her oversize &amp;#39;80s earrings were not to be believed), but I also discovered tons of buried treasure! String together a bunch of faux pearls and add on an old brooch for a DIY statement necklace. Hang a chic earring that&amp;#39;s missing its match on an old chain, or stack up some old-fashioned cocktail rings for a dramatically chic effect.&amp;quot;
