I was given these dangle earrings as a free gift by Baublebar, but they were 2 different lengths. Being the perfectionist that I am, I wanted to change out the bottom stone so they were even. Good thing I used to make jewelry for a living, I had all the tools on hand as well as 2 matching stones. Sadly I did not have 2 black stones, but these opal colored ones did the trick. Here are the before shots:
I cut the bottom stone off. Used 2 pieces of wire and doing a basic wire wrap added one stone to the bottom of each earring.
What do you think? Like the new style? I may switch them out again in a few months when I go stone shopping and get black ones, but for now I'm loving how you can see these in my dark hair!

These are gorgeous! You are so talented. I definitely won't be able to do that myself, I have a terrible time with crafts of any kind. But I broke my favorite earrings and have been looking for somewhere that does jewelry repair in North Wales, PA. Have any suggestions on a quality jewelry repair place? Thanks!
Those are so cute! I love the thought of turning a few pairs of my jewelry into something completely new. I just wish I had the talent to do so. I guess I will just have to find a place that does jewelry repair in Orland Park, IL to do it for me.
This is so handy! I have lots of pieces that need jewelry repair. Maybe someday I'll get around to up-cycling them into new creations.

Wow, I love how you transformed these earrings! The opal stones give them such a unique touch, and I think the contrast with your dark hair makes them stand out beautifully. It's great that you had the tools and skills from your jewelry-making days to make them even. Also, if you're ever looking to sell diamond jewelry in Philadelphia, there are some excellent options available that might inspire you for future designs or trades. Keep up the amazing work with your jewelry projects!
