Making your own jewelry can be a great way to get the exact piece of jewelry that you want – whether you’re trying to match a particular outfit or want something 100% unique…

Or it could be you find something, like this flying bird medallion, that you just can’t put down

I decided that plain & simple was the best way to go with this necklace, so I used a piece of chain that had been hanging out in my studio – and just used a simple ring to attach everything together.  I love it – and I pretty much am guaranteed to get compliments whenever I wear it
