This Wayne State jewelry collection is made from paint taken directly from the Wayne State campus rock, one of the most painted surfaces on campus and a long-standing symbol of student voice, protest, and community. Every layer of paint on that rock tells a story, and those layers are what give each piece its color and texture. Divot tools, earrings, bracelets and more, each one is finished by hand so no two look exactly the same. If you're shopping for a Wayne State gift for a student, graduate, or someone who just loves the school, these pieces carry that connection in a way nothing else does.

Rebel Nell has been handcrafting meaningful jewelry in Detroit since 2013. Every piece is made by our Creative Designers, women employed through our workforce development program. So your purchase supports both a genuine piece of Wayne State history and women building better futures right here in Detroit. Learn more about our story and read our customer reviews.
