Cant find any here in Jamaica reasonable and I need a few to complete a necklace.

Gabi, thank you so much for your kind comment. And yes, yes, a tassel or pendant would be a wonderful addition to the chain! 🙂

I love all your ideas!
I am a “child of the 60s”, so I am tempted to add a tassel to the chain,or any pendant (attached with a small “lobster claw”). Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

It’s something I could see with a really fancy night-out dress. Not that I own one of those dresses or ever go out (we have a baby). BUT it looks super fancy!

Either way, the important thing is using ONE thing to have so many uses. In this society, it’s like, “I need a chain belt,” so let me go buy one. “I need a short necklace,” so let me go buy one. I need this or that, so let me get one. Often, you can just be creative with what you already own.

Are you familiar with the segment in Real Simple magazine called “New Uses For Old Things”? They take an everyday object and show you 6+ ways to reuse it. I love it.

I have a chain, that I love, but I rarely wear it because it’s too long for some of the outfits I want to pair it with. This helps me a LOT! Thank you for sharing!!!!

It is indeed very versatile, but you give me even more ideas! Thanks as always for your creative suggestions.

I loved making a bracelet and charms from scratch, so I am sure I would have fun with a long chain. Thank you and Happy New Year!
