From Earring to necklace


I promised last week that I would post a photo of the necklace I recently made. Well here it is! The pendant is a broken earring, to which I've attached a small silver hoop from a broken bracelet. I may eventually hang the pendant from a silver chain, but i quite like it like this.

  9. That is a brilliant idea and the original ear-ring is just my style.

    I have an allergy to nickel and lead, so I can only wear silver. Even clasps can cause irritation at the back of my neck. It's a nuisance!

  10. I love it on the black lace. Oddly enough I was going through all my old junky earrings yesterday thinking I wish I had the skill to do something with them. Perhaps I should take a class.

  18. I also like to do this with single earrings. Why let them go to waste, such pretty things. Nice job on this, very pretty.

  21. How lovely!

    My daughter did a similar thing--I had given her earrings she loved, and, when she lost one, she made it into a pendant.

    You smart girls!
