How to Own a Piece of Your Favorite Michigan Sports Team in Jewelry Form

Michigan is home to some amazing sports teams. The Lions had a fantastic season last year, Michigan State University and the University of Michigan continue to duke it out in their brotherly rivalry, and there are plenty more.

If you have a Michigan sports fan in your life, there's a way to gift them a literal piece of the team in the form of jewelry.

Michigan-Made Jewelry with "Pure Michigan" Themes

There's a cool Michigan-made jewelry company called Rebel Nell, and they do all kinds of, what I've dubbed, "Pure Michigan" collaborations. They work with places within Michigan that hold a very special place in people's heart and the Mitten State's history.  Rebel Nell then finds something tangible to create pretty epic pieces of jewelry.

The best way I can explain it is to give you a literal example.

If you have a Spartan fan in your life, Rebel Nell did a collaboration with Michigan State University and collected pieces of paint from the Campus Rock and turned them into necklaces, earrings, bracelets, and more. The same with U of M's campus rock.

Maybe you're a fan of the Detroit Lions or Tigers? They have Lions jewelry made from " repurposed official sideline player jackets worn by the team when they played outside at Briggs Stadium and the last time they won a Championship (1957)". For Tigers fans, the jewelry is made from parts of the Comerica Park dugout.

Rebel Nell even has collaborations with the Detroit Zoo, Belle Isle Conservancy, and more. This would be a really cool way to gift someone a literal piece of Michigan.
