My new DIY Necklace Display

July 30, 2008

I just put the finishing touches on this necklace display that I made. Handpainted and with a little help from Jared cutting the wood and screwing in the knobs. Now all I have to do is get some ribbon and staple gun that to the back so it can hang on the wall on a minimal nail, instead of screws.

I’m very happy with the way it turned out! And I love the colors.

Another form of guerilla marketing?

If you somehow missed the controversial bomb scare that went on earlier this year in Boston this past year, or can’t get enough of Aqua Teen Hunger Force or Adult Swim, then you MUST purchase this necklace. Its so rad, that how could resist, really? But beware upon entering Boston, they just might think this is another form of a bomb….

So get ready for the new jewelry trend and stock up on Lucite. What is Lucite? It’s basically plexiglass, which is a lightweight transparant thermoplastic resin. So why Lucite? Because it can be shaped into many different shapes, and boasts an array of bright colors – which makes Lucite perfect for the spring season. Not to mention, it makes your jewely highly sustainable from virtually anything — so no need to be cautious aroung this stuff!

Urban Outfitters has been suprising me lately with all these unique necklaces, such as the seashell leaf necklace, this beautiful yet simple butterfly necklace and this asymmetrical bird necklace. With spring in place, these will make a wonderful addition to any spring outfit! Check out their website for some more great designs!

Let’s call this the comeback.

Really… I like anything dipped in 24K gold, but this necklace tops my list. Actually one of my best friends, Allison, gave me a beautiful gold dipped leaf necklace like this one, and I love it…. in fact, I’m wearing it right now. On that note, I posted this necklace from Urban Bloom so everyone could have the chance to get one too!

you can’t go wrong with a sword.

This is my inspiration: Angel wings. They are just so delicate and pretty. I own this necklace, which I purchased last year in the Urban Outfitters store in Westwood, CA. I wore it to work this week and you wouldn’t believe how many compliments I got on it. So this is worthwhile posting again because its still available! There are also Angel Wing Earrings to match. (Comes in gold and silver)

Three times a charm.

I strolled through the Urban Outfitters on Broadway this afternoon and amidst the mess of picked over, post Thanksgiving shopping, I found these charm necklaces (Horseshoe charm, Heart Locket Watch charm and Multi – charm). Needless to say, I fell in love. These are not only unique (and exclusive to Urban Outfitters), but they have an eclectic sense of style for everyone! I’m still not sure which one fits my style best… Guess I will have to get them all….
