Chop up your jewellery!
Apologies for the shadows on these photos ! I recently bought this necklace from Marks and Spencer and it goes lovely with my new coat and I wear a lot of navy. It is a necklace with 3 strands but there were no earrings to go with it. Sooooo I thought I would chop off one of the strands - I chose the longest one and used some pliers with the wire cutting piece in the middle part of the pliers to cut the chain as close to the top of the clasp as possible. The long strand had a nice selection of beads in pairs. I used to make a lot of jeweller and still have some of my tools and findings so I dug into the cupboard to get them out and checked out the beads I had and decided that I had enough beads for a couple of pairs. Yea bonus! These are the two pairs I made and I had a bit of fun with the leftover beads and made a charm with those. I wanted both pairs of earrings to have the navy and the red hence this combo. However there were several different combos I could have tried
