Refashioning jewellery

Someone gave me a bag of broken jewellery recently and it was like Christmas. I love getting these kind of donations because they spark all sorts of ideas, it's recycling and save things being thrown away.
The round links below....
... will be going into a beach glass necklace.
And the chain and leaf necklace? Pulled apart into several components and used to make multiple new items:
1. Beach glass hair clip
2. Long necklace
3. Leafy necklace
 I've always like black and green as a combination.
Even a humble key ring can be remade into something fun.
You can see the pink beads from the keyring in this necklace.
 The middle two white flowers? Also an old pair of earrings!
 A couple of the keyring beads made it into this necklace, too.
 Some of the pink ones!
The moonstone bracelet at the top of this necklace matches the other beads nicely. I had it for years before a link broke in the middle. Now it has another life.
 The middle rose of this necklace used to be an earring.
 It's pair was used in another necklace ages ago,
 This fake amber has been the centre piece of a few necklaces.
Add it to the old bracelet and it's a chunky statement piece.
I wonder what I can make next?
