Project 188......making a chain longer

I got this neclace from my mon.  She got it on her 18th birthday as a gift......she turns 71 next month!

I wanted the chain to be longer as I am short, and I thought the blue thingie was too big resting on my biggest body parts!

I opened the chain here and there and added some head and eye pins with matching blue beads threaded through them.  End the other side of the pins by closing them with pliers. 
This way your chain can be any desired length and it is easy to remove again when you want it the way it was.
