In this DIY Jewelry Repair Round-Up, we’ve got converting clip-on and pierced earrings, shortening a necklace, adding a charm to a bracelet, and putting a clasp on a chain.

How do I reshape the hook on fish hook earrings?
Hi Glenda! Fish hook earrings that you buy are probably too hard to reshape. The metal is not very bendable and will likely break before bending. You can make your own fish hook earrings. Here’s a how-to we made just for that! J&K http://runningwithsisters.com/how-to-make-earring-wires/
