What can I do with my mother-of-pearl sequin?

This elegant sequin can be used to make inexpensive mother-of-pearl jewelry.
Here are a few creative ideas:

• Make a discreet necklace with this sequin, using a fine-mesh chain, an open ring, your sequin and a medal or smooth sequin.
  All you have to do is put it all together and you'll have a mother-of-pearl necklace you can wear for any occasion.
• Use the same technique, but this time make a bracelet with mother-of-pearl, changing the chain for a bangle.
• As a gift or for yourself, think about engraving your medal. What could be nicer than a personalized message on a piece of handmade jewelry?
  For this you'll need the Impress Art kit, so you'll never be able to get enough of engraving a little something on your creations!
• You're not into necklaces or bracelets, but you love rings? You'll need a ring and a smaller medal or sequin.
• This small mother-of-pearl sequin can just as easily be added to a brooch or barrette, inspired by this golden copper wire barrette tutorial.
