Inspiration: a shell necklace in need of some repair, and a wrist that no longer wears a watch.
Enter: beads, jewelry tools, and (distraction and) CREATIVITY! Yay!
Process: a few minutes (or hours, who’s counting?) with the trusty jewelry tools…
Result: 2 bracelets, 2 earrings. They each can stand alone, but are most happy together, especially the two earrings – they really like to be together for obvious reasons ;)
Found: a strand of bead “crochet” clusters made a couple years ago; too long for a bracelet, too short for a necklace.
Result: 1 bracelet, 2 earrings.
Conclusion: repairing a necklace can take a long time if creativity attacks! But it is worth it :)
