More from Kaz
Since Photobucket got all stupid about people clicking on links, I have to put this here so folks I commission can see what I'm talking about. Yes, I own and wear/wore before it broke - all of these, for decades. I miss my earcuff badly and hope to get it repaired one day.
Commission notes: Kaz's earcuff is worn on the left ear. The fossil tooth necklace can be on a chain or a leather tie. I don't expect this level of detail, ever, but I've found showing the general shape of the things helps. Ignore the ring.

Depending on what happened to the cuff, it's PROBABLY repair-able. It looks like silver, which is quite easy (if you have the right equipment) to fix. You could literally take broken fragments and solder them back together if you're careful and patient enough. Most jewelers won't bother, but a small hobbyist or independent artist should be able to help you, and probably not for a lot of $$.

It's silver, yes. The small jump ring that attached the dangly bit directly to the cuff itself wore through the hole bottom of the hole punched into the cuff for the purpose. It was placed close to the edge to begin with, but the constant back and forth swing over the years wore it ever thinner. At the end the metal was so thin it was like a small wire. One day, it just wore through and bent under the weight. It could be fixed pretty easily, you're right. It's just finding someone who would.
