Grandma's Earring

Vintage clip earring transformed into a necklace

I was lucky to inherit many wonderful things from my grandmother, including her jewelry box. By the time it came to me it contained mostly bits of costume jewelry like this green glass clip earring.

I closed the clip on some antiqued brass chain, added some wire to keep it secure and strung a few matching crystals to make this necklace.
