How do you shorten the Etruscan earrings?

Re: Etruscan earrings question

If you are talking about the earrings of J350131, those would not be hard to shorten.

 

You'd need some needle nose pliers to straighten the wire where the hooks attach.

 

Then you're going to unbend the wire so you can unhook the node or nodes you want to remove.

 

Lastly you'll re-attach the hooks and re-bend the wire to secure the hook.

 

Not sure how much sense that makes but my point is if you know someone who works with beads or jewelry this is an easy task.

@readingdi  You can buy small jewelers tools in the craft department at Walmart.  I find the come in handy for many things.
