Clip on earrings made into a statement necklace

My favorite accessory this spring by far has got to be the statement necklace!
I just can't get enough!


Recently, I was offered the challenge by emitations
to incorporate clip on earrings into a creative craft campaign.
Not that clip on earrings need to be changed into anything,
especially the pairs by emitations.
They are gorgeous!

But, it was a challenge, and I'm always up for a challenge.
I received two pairs of the Bijou's Rose gold clusters to work with.
Every order comes packaged in the most beautiful way and would make the perfect gift...
but I digress...back to the challenge!


I found a few rose gold supplies in my Hobby Lobby jewelry aisle.
I didn't end up using the large jump rings, but I wanted to show you the chain that I bought.


I started by removing the back of the clip on earring.
I have fancy jewelry tools, though I'm sure you could get by without.


Once the back was removed, I found the center of my chain and eye balled a placement of where I would want my now clip on free clip on earrings to be on my necklace.
With my pliers I removed the larger of the two rings on the chain where I wanted my cluster to go.


 I straightened out my ring as much as possible and fed it through the two holes that are part of the cluster where the clip on used to attach to.


I used my pliers to round out my jump ring, though not closing it all the way.
I threaded it through the smaller rings and placed my newly adorned cluster where my plain jump ring was before.
I closed the jump ring all the way once it was in place.


I repeated the process with all four of my clusters to make my statement necklace.
I love it!



Making a statement!
