So I am jewlery ignorant as I do not wear any save for my wedding band. No piercings, no tatoos not even a watch.

With that being said, I find myself strangely attracted to pin necklaces. So, what do you peeps think?

I'm a guy, and I wanted one the very moment I first saw someone wearing one. So I ordered 20 pins from Paragear and began making knotted necklaces using them as a pendant. (I'd already been into macrame and knotted jewelry for some time.)

When others at my DZ saw mine, some asked for me to make them one. I've so far made at least 7 of them for other people. Mine use a four-strand round braid made of 550 cord in various colors. I don't have a picture of a specimen yet, but I'll probably make one tonight. The pattern of two colors of paracord make a sort of diamond-looking effect that is really cool. I met a woman at our Boogie this weekend named Tammy who makes the BEST skydive jewelry I've ever seen. Her attention to detail is phenomenal. I know she said she has a website but I don't know the url.
(edited to add: I guess maybe it's the Tami Carbone mentioned in the above reply. She's awesome. She even shared some of her techniques with me just for the asking!)
If you have any desire whatsoever to wear a closing pin necklace, DO it. There is nothing at all un-masculine about it. I know of at least 10 guys, and just about all the girls, who wear them at my DZ. They're sorta talismanic. I love them.

Tami's necklaces rock, you can see them all at Rantoul so check them out, nice new website guys!!! Russell also has some cool stuff at Preyor Pins that he and his mom make. their website is very professional too. And WFFC sells cool ones too, find him at the WFFC of course.

I've also made a bunch of hemp(macrame?) ones, and they are being sold in GroundZero at Skydive Elsinore. And I take personal requests like Jakes... We did inventory in December, unfortunately since then a few have disapeared from the store... So Kama pulled them off the shelf. I think i'll still have them sold there, we just have to find a better place to put them where they won't be shoplifted.

peace
