Saint Salvage

This project started with a pair of tangerine orange "fireworks" style clip-on earrings that I got at an estate sale.       As you can see, the beads are on head and eye pins that are secured to a circular metal screen backing. They have clip on backs that are corroded! Yuck!!!   I don't know exactly when they were made. I suspect 50s / 60s era.   They were made in Japan.   I cut off the clip on backs and epoxied on new silver pierced backs.   Good as new! Saint Salvage strikes again!

Here's another "quicky" DIY that I did last weekend. I bought opal clip on earrings from the Millville Goodwill store for $1.99. I bought a "Flower Ear Wire" French Hook ("The Jewelry Store; #124057L) at the Millville Hobby Lobby for .88 (Original price was $1.47) Here they are, out of the package. The ear hooks came with those nice rubber stoppers. I took the clips off with my pliers, and then opened the tiny jump ring, and attached the jump ring to the ear wires. Ta dah!!!! The finished product! Saint Salvage strikes again for $2.87 (plus tax)!
