DIY Jewelry Fixes Anyone Can Do

We have all suffered that "jewelry tragedy" that makes it impossible to wear a beloved piece and forces a trip to the jeweler or maker of the item. I have personally known those that can go for years without ever making the trip the the jeweler and their once loved piece sits idly in the back of the jewelry box until the person forgets it even exists! Whether a lost earring back, a chip in the enamel of a favorite pin or a missing rhinestone small repairs and quick fixes can hold you over until you can either take the item in for a proper repair or they might even suffice as a permanent fix when not overly complicated.
