another jewelry remix?

While vacationing with the in-laws in Charleston, I wore the remake of my grandmother's beads to dinner as a bracelet. My MiL complimented the piece and I explained that the majority of the beads came from a necklace of my grandmother's that had broken years and years ago.

The project reminded her that she had a set of silver beads that remained from a necklace of her mother's that was also broken. She sent them to me and told me to make them into something for myself. The problem: I want to make sure it's perrrrrfect. I have had several ideas, but none that have completely overwhelmed me. So I'm calling on all of my crafty folks for help. I want to hear all of your ideas...big, small, or incomplete. Bring it!
