A Custom Necklace with a Charming Story
A few weeks ago, a customer contacted me about creating a necklace for a pendant she had. The pendant was a present to her Grandmother from her Grandfather. He bought it for her in Japan when he was in WWII. When her grandmother passed away my customer inherited it.
My customer loved the pendant but it had been sitting in her jewelry box because she didn't have a necklace for it. She felt a simple gold chain just didn't do it justice.
Of course I was up for the challenge. I went with black and green beads to keep the Asian flair. I purposely chose beads that were a green that was a shade darker because I really wanted the pendant to be the focal point of the necklace.
I made it. She loved it. And now she will think of her Grandparents whenever she wears her necklace. I love a happy ending.
If you have a pendant that needs a necklace please contact me so we can chat.

Sharla,That pendant is just beautiful, and the way that you built the colors to go from mostly black to more green as your eyes approach the pendant is just stunning! You have turned a keepsake into a living heirloom!Simply wonderful!
