New Goodies

I have a number of new products I'm so excited to share, I just need to get them photographed and online (which always seems to be the sllloooowwww part of the process). Sweet stars, sparkly letters, personalized photo charms, all kids of goodies! Hopefully they will be up by the end of the month, with plenty of time to order for Mother's Day.

Here's a peek at the new letters that will soon be available. My daughter wanted me to make her a "5" necklace for her fifth birthday, and it was so cute that I decided we needed to add them to the Sentimental Silver line up. These pendants are shown with stones set into the silver (S has a stone for July & K has a stone for August), but they will also be available without the stones.

Special Order

Hands down, one of my favorite parts of my job is getting to create special gifts for people. I often have men contact me looking for help in ordering a special gift for their wife. I love those orders - because as a wife I know how special it is to get a thoughtful gift from my husband, especially one he had to plan ahead to get!

This morning I shipped out one of those orders, but this one was extra special. It was from a husband who is currently in Iraq, and has missed the last two Valentine's Days and wedding anniversaries. The note he wanted included with the gift could not have been sweeter, letting his wife know how special she was, and how lucky he and their daughters are to have her. It really makes me feel honored when someone selects Sentimental Silver for such a special gift. I hope she loves her necklace, though this order is one of those where the thought is always going to be the most important part of the gift.

New Baby Necklace

I created this necklace for a friend of mine (who's pregnant with her fourth baby!) and figured it was time to get it up online as well. I hope to have it available in the store this month, but it can be custom ordered any time. The crystal encrusted baby booties are ADORABLE. Absolutely darling. A great gift for a new mom.


And for that baby shower gift, for the soon to be new mom who has not decided on a name yet, we will soon have our Tiny Tag Gift Cards available. Give a sweet little baby bootie necklace with a gift card for a personalized Tiny Tag to be redeemed after a name has been picked out!



I should be getting the gift cards from the printer in the next few weeks. These will also be great for the last minute shoppers (men, possibly, just saying... lol).

Happy Customers

It always makes my day to hear from customers how happy they are with their purchase from Sentimental Silver. I know that people do not have to take time out of their busy day to let me know that they like their necklace, so I really appreciate it when they do! Here's a necklace that went out this week, and what the customer had to say about it...


Custom Made Sparkle Round Pendant with Tiny Tag

Christi, I just received my circle pendant with my boys names and birthstones with the tiny tag. I LOVE IT!!! Thank you so much! I will definitely tell my girlfriends about your site although this is one of those pieces that I am sure will sell itself just by me wearing it everyday and people noticing! Thanks again, Melissa.

Also had this wonderful email about this necklace....


Hip To Be Square Pendant with Tiny Tag

Hi Christi - I got your beautiful necklace today and I love it. Thank you so much for making it for me. Your packaging was so nice too... a very nice touch. It was well worth the wait and I plan to wear it always. If you ever feel the need to start selling your items here in Calgary... I am your girl to help. I LOVE your stuff! Thanks again, Danielle.
