Antique river pearl pendants to hanging earrings

[bbziggy]

Hi, thought the antique jewelry lovers would enjoy seeing this project.I have always loved pearls since they are my birth stone. The Old Mississippi river pearls always have so much character. I was at a large antique show and had seen the pendant with the pearl flower and diamond center. I kept a note of the booth. About a few hours later at another booth I saw the pendant with the sapphire center and thought it looked so familiar. I asked if I could borrow the pendant for a few minutes to compare them and sure enough they were a pretty good match! Now if you believe this one. The booth owners were ex husband and wife and had no clue either had a similar pendant!! We all had a good laugh and I bought both pieces and clipped the bale off of each one. bought myself a pair of small pearl studs at JC Penny and tada a 2.5 inch pair of fun funky earrings. I like the fact that they don't match exactly and wear them all the time.Plus I did not destroy the integrity of either pendant.

Those are beautiful! I love it when people take jewelry pieces and transform them into something else
