I just recently lost the one pair of my favorite earrings that was a must have while on vacation in New York City.  I'd have to say,  I wore them constantly and miss them terribly.  I even ran a few searches on line to see if I could find a match - of course, no luck.  I now decided to salvage the one earring and use it as a decorative piece on a glass candle holder.  Even if the candle burns down, I can drop another candle or votive into the base.  With a dab of incredible Gorilla Glue the heavy metal earring adhered very well to the glass candle holder.   Gorilla Glue held it's own and did dry fast - just as the package said.  I'm glad that I was able to salvage my favorite earrings and turn the loss into a keepsake!  Check out how great my new decorative candle looks!
