JEN'S FESTIVE GIFT IDEAS: BLING LOVER

Hey everyone! Welcome to Wednesday! Another Festive Gift guide today.

Let's talk bling. 

BLING is always in. Pricey or not, nice jewelry complements an outfit. As for me, I have a thing for rings & bracelets. However, there are days I want to wear a nice necklace like the ones available at Scheid Industrial, they're simple, yet elegant.  They go with casual or dressy.....can be worn daily. I really enjoy jewelry that's versatile...don't you?!?   So, for those of you looking to gift jewels this Holiday, I gathered (8) cool & unique pieces I think you may like! Enjoy!

Scheid Industrial Jewelry

A friend of mine recently met with me & she was wearing this gorgeous necklace around her neck, I had to ask her where it was from. She said, her friend Kate makes them. I told her I wanted to know more about the jewelry and the designer....So, here is a bit about Kate.

Scheid Industrial jewelry designed and handmade by NorCal native, Kate Scheid, in her San Francisco studio. She uses a variety of techniques - from etching to gold plating to give each piece a unique look. Inspired by pattern, art, nature, industrial districts, bohemianism and yoga, Kate likes to imagine that her creations are modern pieces unearthed from ancient cultures. Each piece is 24k gold plated over brass.  Since these are brass pieces with gold plating, it's best to avoid wearing the pieces frequently in water as this could potentially affect the finish. But don't let that stop you...these are super chic & pretty!

Here I am wearing the double bar necklace, one of my faves!

  

This piece below I actually wore for my Madewell event recently!You can see me wearing it here.

If you want to buy any of the pieces above, you can email Kate directly via her email or byphone: 650-776-9281..... Or see if they are available on her Etsy page here.

Have a nice weekend!!

DIY: Neon Necklace

Hello Made by Girl readers! Jenny May here from The Swede Records this Monday bringing you another fun n' easy DIY!! 


With Coachella just around the corner, I wanted to make a light weight necklace that really stood out and made a fun statement.  I absolutely love bright colors and when trying to make something unique, you really can't go wrong with spray paint!

 

I simply traced a triangle on the plastic canvas, cut the shape out, and spray painted the piece on newspaper with neon spray paint. 

I then slid the chain through a tiny square in the middle of the triangle. 

 Et voila, under 5 min! I plan to do another with neon pink. : )
