With one of the earrings lost, a pendant made great sense. Initially, we discussed adding a small jump ring to the existing open latch. However, I decided to make a tapered, slender bail. This proved a better match to the design, which featured a beautiful Emerald gemstone at the centre of the flower. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The simple transformation took under an hour to complete, and the pendant was re-polished as part of the final stages. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>Serendipity Diamonds is a bespoke jeweller able to turn any earring into a pendant or necklace.<\/strong> Their expertise in jewellery remodelling is available to local Isle of Wight visitors, UK clients, and Worldwide clients.
