Jewelry system and method of using the same

Abstract

A system and method for making jewelry comprising one or more than ornament with a mounting hole therethrough, where the mounting hole has a diameter; a flexible stringing material comprising a first end and a second opposing end. A first clasp element on the first end, where the first clasp element has a diameter, and the diameter of the first clasp element is greater than the diameter of the mounting hole. A mounting post attached to the second end, where the mounting post has a diameter, and the diameter of the mounting post is less than the diameter of the mounting hole. A second clasp element attachable to the mounting post, where the second clasp element has a diameter, and the diameter of the second clasp element is greater than the diameter of the mounting hole. The second clasp element can engage the first clasp element and thereafter be disengaged.
