Wearing a Brooch as Pendant



A good design jewellery, no matter how much one loves it, one still feels a need to change it once in a while. Maybe that is why stack rings, interchangeable jewellery, etc are invented so that people can vary their designs occasionally. It maybe boring to wear the same piece of jewellery day after day. Or simply, it is a human's desire for a change once in a while. 

Speaking of interchangeable jewellery, one should not be unfamiliar with Pandora charm bracelets from Denmark. Or Charlotte Ehinger-Schwarz jewellery from Germany, which produces modular pieces that one can change and mix to make a ring, pendant, brooch, etc.

A brooch can double up as a pendant as I have discovered recently. One needs a necklace with a spring clasp to string the brooch. Just remember to string the clasp last before fastening the brooch pin as shown below: 



It works on a leather cord with lobster claw clasp too. String the clasp last before fastening helps to balance the brooch and prevent it from flipping when it is worn. 





Instead of clipping the the brooch on the blouse, one may consider wearing it as a pendant.  Make it an interchangeable jewellery and give a second thought to the new pendant you are eyeing.. :)
