| I am thrilled to share a new line of hand crafted sorority jewelry made by Keely Phillips. I asked Keely to share her story with you and a little bit about her sorority art. The following is what she told me: |
|
"I am originally from Meridian, Mississippi and am a Chi Omega alumni from the University of Alabama. After graduation in Dec. 2008 I moved to Los Angeles and went to makeup school and worked as a freelance makeup artist for about a year. When the recession hit hard I moved back to Tuscaloosa, AL. I worked for an interior designer there. Since the University of Alabama has over 15 sororities and pledging is really big there I thought it would be a great opportunity to make a little extra money to make sorority items. I have such a love for vintage items and find them to be so classic and unique. I have never seen sorority jewelry anywhere before and it was an instant hit. I make jewelry and accessories for initiation, bid day, and rush for girls all over the country. It has grown into a great jewelry business, even going outside the sorority field, but my vintage sorority items are still my big sellers." Keely Phillips |

"Two of my most popular items are vintage sorority cocktail rings and antique watch fob necklaces. With the rings, I use vintage cocktail rings (usually in the color of the sorority) and add vintage sorority crests. My other big seller consists of taking antique Victorian British watch fobs and adding the vintage sorority crests. Younger girls love to wear this on a 30 inch sterling silver chain. It makes it modern and fresh. Other I items I do are antique pin boxes, sterling silver rings, etc.
There is always variety: "Here are a few more of the vintage and antique sorority pieces I have made."

While living in GA in the 80s, I was asked to make dozens of special order sorority gifts for Georgia Southern sorority sisters thorough the Chatter Tree shop. We were always coming up with new sorority gift items, awards, paddles, banners, pillows, & brown jugs. Now I am sharing many of these ideas on this website, Sorority Sisters.net. We have a face book page for Sorority Gift Ideas;you can LIKE & post your pictures of handmade sorority gifts to share with others. This is a great opportunity to inspire one another to be creative in giving the gift of love in one-of-a-kind sorority gift making.
