REDO! 2 of 4 - Turquoise Brooch

BEFORE

As you can see in the "Before" image of the turquoise brooch, it was missing stones and the rest of the stones were about to fall off.  I took off all of the stones and carefully cleaned them and the brooch itself.  I filed all of the stones so they would fit into the spaces more snugly.  I took the two teardrop stones and filed them into a rectangular shape. They were not 100% symmetrical but they would have been much smaller than the other stones if I had done this.   I removed the teardrop stone segments and removed the pin on the back.

I added three strands of silver toned metal chains, different sizes for each strand.  17",18" and 19" are the lengths of the chain with the brooch adding 2" in the middle. They are individually connected to the brooch and the clasp in the back so they should not tangle.  The clasp in the back has a 2" extender if the wearer prefers it to be little longer.  

I had two turquoise stones that matched the stones in the brooch so I created earrings for the recipient.
