Collar Tip Earrings These were my Dad's collar tips and I love them! I wanted to be able to wear them so it made perfect sense to make them into earrings. These turquoise cabs were set with sawdust beneath them, which is how it used to be done as a matter of course. I removed the stone, used a different material to raise the stone and re-set it. I also tightened up the rest, although they weren't rattling like that one stone was. Anyway, I'm proud to wear them. Our Dad was a silversmith, too, along with so many other artistic talents! Sure do miss him! ❤️
