DIY Fallon Choker

I'll admit it, I'm not really a jewelry person. On a daily basis I rarely wear anything, but that said, if I see something I like, I have to have it. When I was browsing the amazing J. Crew boutique in Malibu and caught sight of the statement necklaces that Fenton + Fallon designer Dana Lorenz created for the retailer, I knew I was in love. Me and the tangled choker have been inseparable ever since. It dresses up even my most basic James Perse tees and looks fierce with a striped sailor shirt and blazer. So when I heard that Lorenz hosted a DIY jewelry-making class for editors at her Soho design studio, I had to know how she conceives of her designs. Follow the pictures to see the steps, and take some cues on how you can fashion your own piece of jewelry.
