Discovery. Jewelry Ideas. Using Clip Earrings as Pendants and Hat Clips.

 

Vintage. Brown Plastic “Agate” Earrings in Antique Gold-Tone Setting. (clip-on) One earring back was badly corroded, when I opened it up the back fell off, I threw it away. I used the other one as a pendant. This is a great discovery. I tried it in a couple of different ways and it worked great. There are a lot of clip-on earrings in Mom’s Jewelry Collection, both vintage and modern. Clip-on earrings were common before most women had their ears pierced. Modern designers often use them for large and/or heavy earrings. Added to Enhancers. Group 1.

Amy Kahn Russell.

Another one of Mom's necklaces. The designer is Amy Kahn Russell. I Googled, Amy Kahn Russell lavender freshwater pearl necklace. Nothing like it. I found a few freshwater pearl necklaces designed by her that were similar selling from $198 to $280. I have a confession to make. I came across the necklace in a tote of Mom's jewelry that I was going to take apart. It's a little "over the top" for my taste (it's also a very heavy piece). I think the small pearls and the faceted stones (I think they are quartz) would make beautiful necklaces (individually). I don't know what to think of the "spikes". Here's what her website has to say about her: Incorporating natural minerals, pearls, and fossils with semi-precious stones, Amy's designs become wearable pieces of art. Amy Kahn Russell jewelry is internationally sold in museum shops, art galleries, prestigious boutiques, catalogs, and specialty stores. My Price $100. Update. Aug 8, 2023. I found...
