I’m loving this ’90s throwback to all things royal, gilded and bejeweled…

Here’s What You’ll Need…

DIY 90s Gilded Jeweled Necklace - Versace/Chanel

* La Mode large bejeweled button from JoAnne’s {$2.75} which I picked up while getting materials for my D&G bejeweled shoes {I was going to use the two small buttons with it but it just didn’t work out right. I may make earrings out of them.
* 254 cm gold chain.
* 42″ (1.06m) gold chain
* Large clasps or ribbon or leather {I used leather lacing}
* Large gold oval jump ring
* Beading pliers

Steps…

* Open the chain links on either end of your larger chain and attach to the button hook & to each other to stabilize the button {so it doesn’t fall forward}.
