I've worn pierced earrings since high school, and over the years I've managed to lose a lot of earrings, leaving me with one of a pair.
My jewelry box was full of these "orphans," but I couldn't bear to throw them out--typically they were from a pair that was once my favorite.
Then I got the idea to recycle these "lost earrings" into one-of-a-kind charm bracelets. The earrings gain new life on the bracelet, which is sterling silver, and the wearer has all the memories captured in the earrings dangling from her wrist.
I make special-order lost earring charm bracelets using your own "lost earrings." The great thing about these is how different each bracelet looks, and how personal it is to the owner.
If you would like me to make you a lost earring charm bracelet, send me between five and eight "lost earrings." I also need your wrist measurement, since I will be making the bracelet just for you.
Once I've played with your earrings for a bit I will e-mail you a couple of design ideas to pick from, and then once you've decided I'll make your bracelet and mail it to you.
I usually work in sterling silver, but if your earrings are mostly gold, I will probably combine gold and silver in your bracelet.
Cost: $80 to $100, depending on the style.
