Trend gives students a new way to partyJewelry. Paper money. Gift certificates.
It may not be your typical Penn State party, but this gathering offers a different atmosphere.
Jewelry parties are becoming more popular across the country, as well as in the college scene.
"I think it's just a good way to get a lot of people together and socialize," Kim Seidel (junior-accounting) said.
Seidel was one of nine girls who attended a jewelry party at a fellow student's apartment last week.
During the party, jewelry consultant Denise Rockey introduced the girls to lia sophia jewelry.
Rockey began the evening by setting up the jewelry and having everyone introduce themselves.
She presented the host with a large piece of paper money amounting to $100, explaining that the host would receive any piece of jewelry from the catalogue that was worth up to $100 for only $10.
