Here are two DIY Mother’s day Jewelry that are not your traditional gooey, cutesy stuff but are meant for beautiful, bold and strong moms out there.

Shimmering sunglasses and birds nest necklace
Birds’ nests necklaces have been around for a while and turn up back in trend every spring – summer as a popular Mother’s day gift idea. In this project I have teamed up my famous Sunglasses pendant necklaces along with birds’ nest and German glass glitter to produce, shimmering sunglasses and birds nest necklace for a rockstar mom! Catch the full project at the Craft Paper Scissors blog, where I am a new guest contributor!!
DIY Phalakhara Necklace
If you are looking to go the more conservative route, and make something traditional (Indian) yet bold, this necklace is a great option. These colors might be too strong for some western sensibilities, but them they can be easily changed to neutrals like gray, dull lavendar or beige for a more subtle look.
Phalak means a gem or glass slab or colored glass and Haar means necklace. Phalakhara refers to a traditional mutlistrand bead necklace which was connected with slabs of glass and was popular in the Satvahana Empire in ancient India. As a design educator and a history buff, I have always been drawn to costumes and jewelry worn in the ancient times*. Here I have recreated a traditional design with modern materials and a contemporary approach by using resin to create druzy style glass slabs.. Find the full tutorial of this gorgeous traditional Indian necklace on the Ice resin blog specially created by me as a part of the Ice resin 2015 creative team.
