      I broke a tooth off of the cassette, and went in for a new cassette and chain + some tools 😀
      Turns out I didn’t have to take any links out of the new chain but the old one was stretch to the tune of 1/2 a link.
      1.Are the quick links in the old chain worth saving?
      2.Is the old chain or cassette good for anything?
      3.could I have got away with keeping the cassette with a missing tooth? (I think the real problem was caused by a jammed bent link on the chain)

      Yes, definitely. They’re like $4 at the LBS!

      Jewelry or art

      Possibly, but I wouldn’t. It will just cause a problem later, and not when you’re in the parking lot, if you know what I mean.
