Sometimes you just lose an earring; you come home and realize that at some point during the day, you lost it and have no clue of where it could be. You may try to check your home or car or office, but usually, it’s just a lost cause…it’s gone forever. When this happens, I always keep the lone earring I have left in the hopes that I can reuse it in some way.
A lone earring makes for a good charm or pendant for a
necklace. My earrings tend to have hooks (rather than studs), so it’s pretty
easy to disconnect the dangling part of the earring from the hook. And then I
just reattach it to a chain and have a new piece of jewelry to wear.
In this necklace, the long metal rectangle piece used to be
part of a set of earrings I had. I made a simple necklace using that earring piece
as the main pendant that hangs from a bead, and decided to add a bit more
visual interest by using two chains on either side of the pendant. I was glad I
could find a way to use this lone earring in a new necklace that I like quite a
bit.
