Conversions

I have done quite a few alterations to make jewelry more wearable. From watch conversions to the addition the of turquoise or other alterations. Are there certain pieces of jewelry we shouldn’t mess with? Is it disrespectful to alter a vintage piece or signed piece, or is it totally fine for an owner to alter a piece they own?
I’ll start with an older watch cuff. The decision was weather to find a watch to insert of alter it by adding a turquoise cab:

I’ve got more, but I’d love to see what alterations others have done, and hear opinions​:blush:
