easy way to lengthen any necklace...

I love layering my necklaces

and have found an easy way to do so 

with pieces that might be all the same length...

just extend them!

working in the back of the necklace

with a couple of tools and findings

you can extend any necklace to your desired length.

The work horse go to tools

for extending

two needle nose plyers...

a bit of chain

in similar weight of the necklace your extending....

it certainly doesn't have to match exactly

A couple of jump rings

 and

 lobster claw finding

or any closure finding

(all of these supplies are easily available at most craft shops)

to extend your necklace

simply open the back of the necklace

decide how much longer you want it...

open up one of the jump rings

with the two plyers

grab a piece of chain

and

 the end of the necklace

all together in the jumper ring

using both plyers

simply close the jump ring...

 repeat this process 

with the other end

this time adding in the lobster claw closure

Voila

 you now have a necklace 

that hangs just where you want it to!

it's just that easy 

to customize your own necklace!

Wishing you love and joy

as you style your life
