Broken Chains-What to do
It’s all but inevitable that everyone who has gold chains is going to end up with broken ones or ones so badly kinked that repairing them is not an option. Instead of letting them sit in jewelry box collecting dust here’s a couple of fun ideas to keep getting use out of them…
If there are long enough undamaged sections of the chain make bracelets out of them. Have them shortened and reuse the clasp if it’s still working properly. Perhaps there’s even enough to make a multi-strand bracelet.
You can also make earrings or dress up a pair of earrings you already have. Take a short piece of the chain and solder it to an earring post or to the bottom of a gold earring. On the other end of the chain solder a gold earring back. When you put the earring on, the chain creates a small loop from the front of your ear and around to the back.
Stop letting those old broken chains collect dust and visit your local jeweler to find out what they can create for you!
