We’ve already discussed what can be done to re-purpose a pair of old solitaire diamond earrings, but what about the other types you may have lurking around in your jewellery box? Let’s look at some easy ways to re-purpose those as well.
Cluster diamond earrings can be one of the more challenging types of diamond earrings to re-purpose, but one of the easiest at the same time. The small stones in cluster diamond earrings offer a wide range of choices when it comes to creating a new piece of jewellery. The most obvious choice is, of course, using the small stones in the cluster diamond earrings to create a new larger cluster diamond ring. You could also create a cluster diamond ring and a matching necklace using one of each of the diamond earrings to make each new piece. The difficulty of re-purposing cluster earrings lies in the fact that it can be a very labour intensive process, often with a lot of added costs being incurred for the time it takes to take each stone form the diamond earrings and work them into a new piece.
Hoop diamond earrings can be either a simple task or a complicated one, all depending on the style of the hoop diamond earrings you have. If the diamond earrings are done in a pave setting, you will run across similar issues as you would with cluster diamond earrings. Eternity style diamond earrings, on the other hand, tend to have larger stones to work with, making them much easier to re-purpose. One of the most popular options you have when it comes to re-purposing eternity diamond earrings is to simply create an eternity ring from the stones in both diamond earrings.
The final style of diamond earrings to consider are chandelier diamond earrings. Like hoop earrings, chandelier diamond earrings can vary in the degree of difficulty it can take to re-purpose them. Some chandelier earrings include some smaller accent stones, while also having several larger stones. Other consist of primarily smaller stones, presenting the same challenges as cluster diamond earrings. Keep in mind, it is entirely possible to re-purpose any style of diamond earrings, regardless of the size of the stones they contain. You just need to remember that the smaller the stones are, the more difficult they may be to work with and, therefore, the higher the cost may be for the re-purposing.
