Antique bottleneck necklaces

[cajundetector]

Hello all. Forgive me if I’m posting in the wrong spot. I’m still learning how to navigate the site. I was thinking of things I could do with the old bottlenecks that I find in holes. Bought a glass cutter. I cut the necks into rings hustled wanted to share that.

Neat way to repurpose something that normally gets discarded.

Huh!, That'll be an idea on all the busted bottles I find in the old dump grounds I find around me. Nothing has escaped the plow except old square nails.

I had thought that filling up a lamp base with them would be cool....instead of the usual sea shells, but my wife shot that idea down.

Pretty cool idea!
I saw a guy at a swap meet once that made guitar slides from old whiskey bottle necks. He sold two while I was looking at them!

Thank you! I’m sure the thickness of that glass makes great slides. Thanks for the idea.
