If your watch chain is too short….

[YadaYadaYada]

Do what Beyoncé sang about and put a ring on it! Sorry, couldn’t help myself

Bought this watch chain recently and it was too short to wear as a necklace, so I added some links and a dog clip, I had a feeling the dog clip was gold-filled. Well it darkened and looked awful, since I don’t take my necklaces off they get exposed to water and such, I need a solid metal.

I thought that a lace pin I had would work, it’s a very sweet little bow but it just wouldn’t sit straight. Out of total frustration I decided to just take a ring and connect each side to it:



This would be great if you have a sentimental ring that doesn’t fit, I see a lot of antique rings that are really crisp but SO small, one of those would be great, A little dangly charm ring would work as well.

Maybe this isn’t anything new but thought I would share and maybe it’s a new idea for someone.

Share the ways you make your watch chain wearable. Pictures are a plus!

This is a great idea.
I have all kinds of chains and band rings that aren't being worn. I could match some up and make something new!

@stracci2000, a new way to wear rings born out of total necessity lol!

Thanks @Roselina and @Daisys and Diamonds, the clever in me tends to be reserved nearly exclusively for jewelry thoughts

Great idea! I have been dying for an oversized bolt ring and whenever I come across one they are too expensive. This may scratch the itch for now.

Yeah it’s a good easy cheap fix. The bolt rings are very expensive for what they are. It seems the watch chain (and everything that goes with them) craze is here to stay.

This is great!! I have SO many watch chains that are 13" long, so a bit short!

And if you’re anything like me, SO many rings. So win-win all around

I was not sure if this was going to be a helpful thread to be honest.
