How to transform an old ring into a pendant.

If you are like me you might have some old costume jewelry lying around that isn’t really your style any more. Instead of throwing it away here’s a way that you can transform an old ring into a wearable pendant.

You will need the following tools and materials to make your pendant:

1: An old ring. I used this ring with a soldered on ring shank.

2: Flat nose pliers for pulling the ring apart.

Follow these steps to transform your old ring into a necklace pendant:

1: Remove the ring shank from the top of the ring, gently pulling it off with your flat nose pliers.

2: If there is excess metal use a file to remove it. I didn’t have to do this for this project.

3: Squeeze out the Araldite glue in equal parts onto the scrap paper.

2: Mix the glue using the skewer.

3: Add the glue to the bail and the back of the ring.

4: Place the bail onto the glued part of the ring and set aside to dry.

5: Add the dry pendant to the necklace to finish it off!

Now your new pendant is ready to wear! Such an easy way to upcycle old jewelry.
