Sharing a graduation gift I made for the daughter of one of my besties. We have been friends forever (7th grade) and now her baby has now graduated from college!
My “niece” is a lifelong softball player and earned a scholarship to play softball in college. I knew I wanted to incorporate softball into her necklace but now that she’s a college graduate, also wanted something grown up that she could wear. I found this enameled softball charm that was neutral in color and designed things around it.
I used a combination of silver chains and a rhinestone chain I picked up at Michaels and deconstructed.
I didn’t take a lot of pictures while I was making it but basically just laid out the chain the way I wanted it, added a couple of the rhinestone links along the way, and then used one as the base for a pendant, attaching the softball charm, another silver charm, and a silver pearl attached using a head pin.
Graduation was yesterday and I am really honored that she chose to wear these for her graduation. Wishing you all the best Ro!

So pretty! And that's so special to have a friendship that long! :)
It's wonderful - love the mix of sports and ultra feminine pearly spangly jewelry.
