Have you ever been shopping and came upon a pair of earrings that you adore - but you can't/don't wear earrings?
This happened to me today. I do have my ears pierced but I have a lot of problems with them. Solution: turn one dangly earring into a necklace.
I then looked around for a necklace of the same gold colour. The only ones I could find were very long - and I prefer shorter necklaces. If you want to alter the length of the necklace you need to make sure the chain has "links". Not the "snake-like" ones as you cannot reattach the clasps.
Undo the jump ring attaching one end of the clasp to the chain. Using a small set of pliers cut the chain to the length you like, take the earring (hook) off the top of the earring. Slide the earring onto the chain, and using the jump ring reattach the end of the clasp to the necklace.
Viola! Finished. Now I have something I really like and will wear.
And it's cheap! $10 total.
