Pearl Safety Pin Jewelry Set

Safety pins have been a household essential for decades, but did you know they can also make very cute jewelry? This gold-tone pendant and earrings make a surprisingly chic copycat jewelry set that looks just as stylish as the designer original. Pearl and safety pin jewelry has been spotted on the runways and boutiques of big name designers like Marc Jacobs, Tom Binns, and Vivienne Westwood. Instead of spending hundreds of dollars, why not make a knockoff version for a fraction of the price? This tutorial is beyond simple, and even the most amateur jewelry maker can create this set in under an hour. This dainty and delicate set uses Swarovski pearls for a luxe look, but you can use any glass—or even plastic—pearls to achieve this edge, trendsetting style.
