Got mismatches? No problem!
I had these two earrings and like parts of each. There were just a few problems: 1. They didn't have their mate. and 2. I don't have any desire to wear 30+ year old clip-ons...plus...my ears are pierced. :) So...strap on your safety goggles!

Key West Witch added Beautiful Pendant From Two Vintage Earrings! to Jewelry 30 Jun 04:32

Step 1
Gather your supplies. You need: Adhesive, Needle Nose Pliers, an earring with a large stone, and an earring that is on the long side (that is...if you want something like this.
Step 2
Snap the clip-on part off of the back of the "base" earring. I didn't take the picture before I did it, but you know what clip-ons look like! It's also important to NOT break the holes where the clip on snaps on. Your Jump Ring goes through here.
Step 3
Now, take your earring with the large stone and start working the stone out. BE CAREFUL. When I did this, I spent a few minutes on the ground searching for the stone after it flew across the room.
Step 4
This is another picture of the earring above.
Step 5
Once you get the stone out, glue it to the top of your long earring. If you remember right, the holes where the clip-on snapped on is behind this stone. Loop a Jump Ring through these holes and another to that one for the necklace to go through.
Step 6
Another of the finished product. Sorry I didn't get a shot of it as a necklace!
