Dual Purpose Vintage Charm Bracelet or Necklace

I was holding a piece of handmade vintage charm bracelet with a toggle clasp. I gazed at it for a long time, thinking to make a short necklace with the same style. Hmm... How lazy I was... I was lazy to do the ring by ring connection craft, lazy to think about a new design at that moment. Ahh! What should I do? Laying down and continued gazing at the bracelet. Haha, an idea flashed into my  mind!! I picked a metal chain and attached a toggle clasp on it. I made a convertible chain to transform my bracelet into a necklace. Let's see the outcome.



Just with one convertible chain, you can transform all bracelets with toggle clasps into necklaces just in an instant!! Here show you some of my bracelets with toggle clasps.




This bracelet is made up of glass beads and bronze metal beads and charms. The red watermelon tone beads bring me a really sweetie feel.



This bracelet is made up of glass beads, ceramic beads and bronze metal beads and charms. The floral ceramic beads and the glass beads in the bracelet give me a classical feminine feel.


This bracelet is made up of hematite and bronze metal beads and charms. The musical clef sign and note charm bring my every action into a music-filled atmosphere.


This bracelet is made up of cloisonne, hematite and bronze metal beads and charms. The cloisonne beads give me an ancient China feel.



Making the ring-to-ring connections for a bracelet is not hard, whereas you need a little knowledge on making a bead charm, especially when you need a unique charm and not a ready-made charm that can get from the shops out there.
