Remember the necklace I made inspired by the marjorelle necklace from Anthropologie? I love that necklace and wear it all the time, so I made another version.
Inspiration: Marjorelle Necklace by Anthropologie
:
What you’ll need:
- Gold twisted cord(I purchased mine at Wal Mart for under $2)
- Stretch cocktail rings/brooches/vintage pins that will go well together(I found mine at Forever 21, here are some beautiful picks here: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7)
- Hook and closure, gold loops, end caps
- Epoxy glue
- Scissors
Directions:
1. Cut off the ring/pin part of the jewels if necessary.
2. Measure the length of the gold cord and put a tiny strip of clear tape around where you want to cut it. The tape makes sure that it doesn’t fray when you cut it off.
3. Dab a small amount of epoxy glue on the ends of the gold cord. Then squeeze it inside the end caps.
4. Hook on the gold loops, and the hook and closure.
5. Dab a good amount of epoxy glue on the back of the jewels and press onto the middle of the gold cord. The jewels might tilt back or forward so put something below and above the jewels to keep from tilting while it’s drying. Or check every 10 minutes the first half an hour to make sure it’s not tilting and straighten it if necessary.
6. Let it dry 24 hours.
Estimated time: prep time: 20 mins | drying time: 24 hrs.
Budget: $30

This is a gorgeous project. I had a go at making some necklaces myself yesterday but they weren't as sparkly as this.

Very pretty! I love a piece of jewellery that has that much personality. Thanks so much for linking up at Etcetorize this week!
Beautiful necklace. I also love that dress. It reminds me of one Kate Middleton wore earlier this year.
SO I bought the dress… with an additional 15% discount. (New customer discount)
A 39% + 15% sale. Thank you so much…
Now I have to make the necklace to match the dress!!!!
Just a quick, did you have to take in the dress? The waist says it about 27in and mine is about 24.5.
Thanks so much!
Hi! I'm glad you bought the dress at such a good price! π I didnt do anything to the dress, And it looked fine. My waist is 24" too if that helps. If you want it more tight fitting, then you would have to tailor it. It also comes with a sash but that was too big for me and I would have to make it smaller if I want to wear the sash. Hop hope that helps!
Thanks for the reply Sarah!
It did help! Cannot wait for it to arrive!
this is beautiful! Where do you like to shop for cocktail rings/brooches/vintage pins because I can never seem to find any . . .
This necklace is absolutely stunning! I must keep this in mind next time I'm at Forever 21. I'm thinking their wide range of jewelry would be perfect for this craft. You should be very proud!
Very cute – what a great knockoff and wonderful way to update vintage pieces.
Just wanted to stop by and say that as a new follower I really enjoy your blog! I love your sunglasses, where did you get them from?
Hey Eugenia! I got all those cocktail rings at Forever 21! π
You are so right, that is where I got all those four rings, Forever 21! π
Hi! I got those sunglasses at ASOS awhile ago. Thanks for reading my blog!
This is gorgeous!! I need to go find me some fun brooches now π
First of all, BEAUTIFUL necklace, it looks amazing! You have such a creative eye. I am a long time reader, I absolutely love your blog. I am going out on a limb here, I am looking for some help.

I am trying to rally as many votes as I can, will you take a second and vote for me? I am #3 http://www.vintagerevivals.com/2012/09/the-top-10-plead-their-case-vote-now.html#more I am trying to beat the odds! Thanks so much for taking the time to read this!

Seriously stunning! Love it!
Done! Good luck!
I always love getting your comments Yuni! And I really should, but it cost about $30 just for the supplies, so I'm not sure if people are willing to pay like $50 for the necklace, you know what I mean? But thank you, you are so sweet.
Thank you, you are so sweet!
I think they got the inspiration from Kate's dress actually! They have her picture on their site even. π
Thank you so much!
you are so sweet, thank you!
this is gorgeous! definitely agree that your necklace looks better than the original one! where did you get your end caps? i've been looking for some but can't find any locally.
Thank you! I ordered it online, I tried to find it but couldn't find which online store. I found the store by googling "8mm gold caps".
What size is your dress? I'm ordering it but all the comments say they run small. I believe I'm about the same size as you.
I ordered the smallest size they offered. π
Hey there! Adore your blog and DIY's! I'm really excited to try some of them π I have a question about the Kate Middleton-inspired dress from Sheinside; how long did it take for you to receive the item, and how is the quality of the material/dress?
Thank you in advance π
Hi! I replied to you via email. π
It is so beautiful. Especially with this beige dress.
