I’m a very simple girl. While I do wear jewelry, I’m lazy and prefer to wear the same jewelry every day. I never take it off - I shower with it on, wash dishes with it on, I sleep with it on.

But wedding day jewelry is supposed to be different, special even. I really didn’t even search for jewelry because my mother is a jewelry fanatic. Most of the jewelry I have, she bought for me… from the time I was 6 ’til my early 20’s. Some I’ve never even worn. Years ago my mom bought my grandmother a beautiful freshwater pearl bracelet. Last year it was given back to my mom and my mother handed it down to me. It’s beautiful and I quickly and easily decided to wear it on our wedding day.

I decided to forgo a necklace (I’m keepin’ it simple), but I am an earring whore and wanted some earrings to go along with the bracelet. I just didn’t want to spend the money on more freshwater pearls, especially knowing I prolly won’t wear them again. So I was randomly shopping at Forever 21, and came across these…
I bought them and with needle nose pliers and wire cutters, I transformed them to this:
While they don’t totally match in color and shape, I think they are close enough. I don’t think anyone else will notice unless I’m holding my wrist up to my ears the whole day. Which I don’t plan on doing. Here’s what they look like together…
And the best part?! They cost me less than $4!! See for yourself!
Did you make or ”fix” your wedding day jewelry or attire?
