Necklaces, bracelets, and crafts – usually just things you would see on someone’s wrist, ankle, or neck.

While these things may seem small or insignificant they serve their purpose not just as accessories, but also as time capsules, with each piece telling its own tale.

 The Jewelry Club is a club based around making wearable art and accessories. The club has a new president and several new officers this year and now meets once a month. It started a few years back but has recently changed sponsors with Tabina Huq, a geometry teacher, being the new sponsor. 

“I made jewelry before joining the Jewelry Club, so I just wanted an excuse to make more,” club member Cordi Leung said.

Another club member, Atlas Jorgensen, however originally joined because his friends were in the club but stayed for the jewelry.

“Last year, we did bracelets with letters, and I really like everything I got out of it, in terms of accessories and stuff,” Jorgensen said. “I think it’s all really fun and cute.”

It’s not just about making jewelry though, it also helps Leung with his tactile skills as well.

“I’ve learned how to not shake so much when I’m beading things because my hands usually shake a lot when I’m doing stuff like that,” Leung said.

The club is also always looking for new members and has an open and accepting environment.

“They announce meetings whenever they have them, and I feel like it’s a very welcoming community,” Jorgensen said. “There’s pretty much never any drama or anything.” 

An officer of the club, Vincent Dang, explained that the jewelry that members get from the club has more value than just what it is made of.

“The reward at the end is what you made, and it has more sentimental value than say, if you were to buy it at the store,” Dang said.

Tabina Huq, the sponsor of Jewelry Club and Geometry teacher said that creativity was the “essence” of the Jewelry club.

“I think the bonds they’ve made with each other, you know, making them stronger, allowing their creativity to flow, and also using different ways to showcase that creativity as well,” Huq said.
