So I’m sure we all have a necklace that would just look that much better if it was just a little longer or it is just a little boring! Well your in luck, Ashley Rose has the answer! All you need is a standard chain that I am sure we all have in our jewelry box--doesn’t really matter the length 16”, 18”, 20”…
Simply strip the chain of any charms and unhook the clasp on the chain. Next grab the necklace that needs some length and unhook the clasp on it as well.
Feed the chain through the side of the chunky necklace that does not have the clasp on it. Then hook the clasp on the chain.
Take the clasp from the chunky necklace and hook it through the link on the chain so you now have a connected necklace!
You now have an awesome necklace that can be worn as a statement neckline or a longer necklace for those flowy tops!
Now let’s tackle that boring necklace!
How about adding a glitzy brooch to add a little sparkle! Simply pin the brooch through at least a link on the necklace to keep it in place and clip the brooch over the other layers of necklace and you have instantly given the necklace a whole new feel (o:
Ever think about wearing your necklace as a bracelet? We have! Start with the necklace hanging on your wrist.
Then start to wrap it around and around until it feels tight enough. The nice thing is if you can’t seem to wrap it tight enough you have the option of unhooking the necklace and hooking it tighter on the chain so it fits your wrist comfortably!
Now jazz it up even more--add some more bangles and call it a day (o:
Ill leave you with one last tip today (o: do you have any broken rings, brooches, ECT? How about using them as charms! It all depends on whether or not there is a loop that a chain can be fed through but take my necklace for example! The Ashley charm was a ring believe it or not! I simply snapped off the excess ring and fed the chain through the Y. The heart pendant was actually apart of a larger charm hoop. I snapped off all the metal that I didn’t want any more and was left with this loose hanging heart charm!
So I now leave it to you, let your creative juices run and reinvent all those boring or broken pieces of jewelry! We love new ideas so let us know what has worked for you (o:
