Naga 18k Gold Diamond Scale Pendant Necklace

Keep your silver, gold, and baubles sparkling—sans tarnishes—with these practical tips.

This gilded accessory is multipurpose: Corral small items, carry warm treats from room to room, or serve cocktails at a holiday party.

Stash rings in a miniature pouch to tuck inside your matching Quilted Jewelry Roll.

Add strategic ribbon, and a mini quilt becomes a handy travel case for all your bits and baubles—and at just 20 by 10 inches, it's an unintimidating project for those with entry-level sewing skills. Pair it with a matching Drawstring Jewelry Pouch.

Send some glimmering snail mail with these custom notecards or wrap them up as a set to give as a gift.

Not everyone is the full-on-costume type. For a subtle and stylish nod to this month's holiday, try donning a skull necklace or bracelet. As intricate as they look, the little skulls are quite simple to make from affordable oven-bake clay.

If Mom's still got your grade-school drawings tucked away somewhere, we know what she wants on her day: something you made with your own two hands. Sculpt bold beads or a posh pendant out of good old oven-hardening molding clay, then add stylish details, and you'll have a grown-up accessory that she'll display with pride.

These shimmery creations range from a subtle one-inch length to a shoulder-dusting six. We've always been fans, but tassels are truly having a moment, and no wonder: The light-weight embellishments make a big sartorial statement when worn with summer basics. And while they look high-fashion, they're low-effort.

The colorful bands and crystallized texture that gives this semi-precious stone its signature look can be customized to your Christmas tree. In pendant form, hang them from the boughs as eye-catching statement pieces.

Yours can be made in any style of braid or knot, and in any color combination for a soft ombré effect. Pair this summer statement accessory with a flowy dress for a beachy bohemian look, or wear with a white shirt for that perfect statement piece.
