DIY-semi homemade necklace...


this is one of my favorite necklaces to wear....
and it is truly a
semi homemade necklace

This fabulous signature piece started out...


as a basic Target necklace that I added 14mm  pearls to....


I then got out my trusty findings...
(most of these can be found at the major craft stores)

this time I just needed jump rings in various sizes
to attach all  the lengths of chains and beads that I wanted to add...


pulled out my two flat nose pliers...
I needed these to 'open' the jump rings
so I could very easily attach the new the chains and beads to the Target necklace.


I began by  adding a 'string ' of coral that I made. by wiring the 'beads' together.


then I added some vintage chain...

and  then another Target necklace with pearls I  added....

then some turquoise beads and a strand of pearls...
adding on some nautical pendant drops...
All of these were added by simply opening my jump rings...
and grabbing the original necklace...+what i wanted to add...
then simply closing the jump ring!


Here it is in completion...
my semi homemade signature piece...
having begun with a store bought necklace....
and embellishing and embellishing 
and embellishing....
until I was in love with it's scale and proportion and colors


Wishing you love and joy
as you style your life

happy embellishing!
