When I make jewelry, I have a general idea in mind but my “process” is to gather up the stuff I think I might use and take it from there:
I had some gunmetal Bead Landing chain in my stash that I knew I wanted to use, two shades of blue fire polished crystal beads and these great crystal studded beads I picked up on my trip..
I made four sets of these with the light and darker blue crystals and the crystal studded beads, then attached them to some of the chain with silver jump rings.
I had two different styles of Bead Landing chain (Michaels) so I used both and doubled them up to give some more depth to the necklace.
The center piece is actually half of a clasp but I’ll use the other half for something else.
Although this looks like a necklace on my Premiere Prop Co mannequin form, it’s actually the bracelet I made to go along with my necklace. You can find a variety of these jewelry props at Michaels.
For the bracelet, I used more Bead Landing chain, crystals, bead caps and white off set beads.

Ah-mazing! It looks great. What a smart idea. I like the necklace so much better than a cheap t-shirt!
Love it!! And you can wear this to other occasions than school events :)
Very pretty. GO Team!
These are bold and also very feminine! So pretty - and lucky your young man picked a school with NICE colors for bejeweling yourself. Hope you are a hit at the event!
Such pretty supplies! And love the necklace you made...a great way to express school spirit!
Thank you for your contribution to our 'Time for a Party' link-up. Fun Bling!!!!
Tomorrow we'll open a NEW party at http://www.finecraftguild.com/party/ and we'd love to see you there then again with a beautiful project like this.
Till then! Keep up that great creativity!!!
Positively stunning, Carol!
These are so cute! Thank you for sharing a feminine and bold way to show off some school spirit. My high school's colors were blue and orange. It was hard to look cute and not absolutely silly with those colors, but it would work! These are pretty :)
Thanks for sharing. I love supporting my kids and their school, but I also want to look good doing it. I love this school spirit necklace idea.
