    Anthropologie Cenote Layered Necklace DIY Knockoff




    Awesome inspiration!

    If you make your own jewelry for personal use or professionally, you will love to make this awesome layered necklace.

    You can make it out of components from vintage or used jewelry that is broken or just needs repurposing or purchase new components.

    What I love about this design is that you can make a number of earring and bracelet combinations to match this necklace!  They would make a very cool jewelry collection . . . don't you think?
