Creating one necklace out of two

[KLC]

I would like to know if I could have this sapphire and diamond pendant attached where it would dangle from the center of the diamond smile necklace? Is that something that could be done securely? And do you think it would look good?

Naturally a jeweler would have to take a look at both pieces in person, but I feel like this is a definite possibility. In fact, I think it would be a relatively simple/inexpensive alteration. I imagine they would solder one or more small jump rings beneath the center diamond on the necklace to fasten the pendant. That way it will have some dangle and not be static. The pendant looks to already have a small "hidden" bail or ring at the top, so I don't even think they'd need to touch it (beyond attaching it, of course). And yes, I think it would look lovely!!

Thank you! I never wear the sapphire pendant because the chain is so tiny and fragile. I suppose I could get a heavier chain, but I was playing around with layering them and liked the way it looked.

I'm interested to hear how you make out! Keep up posted!!

Yup. I'm so having this done! It gives it an antique vibe, in my opinion. It may be a little fancy for everyday wear, but that won't stop me from wearing it everyday. Lol. I will share photos when it's finished.

I'd absolutely wear that to the office or out to dinner on a Saturday night. I want to see the finished piece!

Plus I love the utility of taking two pieces you like, but don't love, and turning them into something special that you'll really enjoying wearing!

I finally got around to having this done and got it back today. It's gorgeous!!! I couldn't be happier with the result. The first two pictures in sunlight, the second one is under incandescent lights.

Like it was meant to be! You enhanced both pieces with such a simple adjustment. I love seeing an upcycled success story! Enjoy!!

It’s beautiful and my favourite activity, taking a piece of unwearable jewellery and creating a new piece that is perfect.
