My Customers Make Me Smile

I really have some of the sweetest customers. It always makes my day when a customer takes time out of their busy day to email me and let me know that they like their necklace. This was the email that started my day today...

Christi,

All I can say is WOWOWOWOW!!! I’ve been wearing the necklace you made for me and all I can say is I love it!!! I get lots of comments and compliments on it but even if I didn’t, I love it so much. I feel like my family is close to my heart all the time and I reach up and touch it and them all the time. You were such a joy to work with, being “real” via email and helping me plan the necklace.


Thank you again, Norma

What a great way to start my day! Thank you Norma!

How Sweet

I just finished making this piece and had to share before it heads out in the mail. I think it's so sweet and is a great example of how you are not limited just to putting names on your necklace.


Ordering - Making It Easier

One of the things I love most about my jewelry, is that the possibilities are almost endless when it comes to mixing, matching and making a piece unique. We have so many shapes and sizes to select from, plus the option to add sparkle with stones, the sky is the limit.

The only downside to having so many options, is that it's a challenge to come up with a shopping cart system that can represent all of them. Heck, I can't even think of all of them myself, I get orders all the time where I think "wow, that's a great combination of pieces!".

Often people want to put two different shapes together on one necklace, and aren't sure how to add them to the shopping cart. The easiest way to do this is to select the first shape and add it to your cart.

So if for example you want a heart and a star, go ahead and add a heart necklace to your cart.

Then, visit our star page, and add one to your cart, but select the "No Chain" option in the "CHOOSE CHAIN" box (which will deduct $15 from the full price necklace).

Now you have ordered a heart pendant on a chain, and a star pendant, without a chain. Viola!

Though please always feel free to contact us if you have questions. We are happy to work up custom orders for you to make it easier. We also have a form you can download and fax to us. We know it can get confusing, so we are happy to help!

A Star Is Born

We finally have our Sentimental Silver Star Necklaces available online! They come in two sizes, large and small.

This shape is one of my very favorites, and most days I wear my "A Wish Come True" star with two Tiny Tags - one with my hubby's name and one with my daughter's.

There are so many cute ways to wear these stars. We had one customer order a large star which reads "MOM'S STARS" and two Tiny Tags (with children's names) to give to her daughter's preschool teacher as an end of the year gift.

They are also cute to combine with other shapes, especially our hearts. A few pictures...

Gift Certificates


We now have our gift certificates available for purchase online, in values ranging from $50-$200. We have both cardstock gift certificates available (sent via USPS) or email gift certificates.
With our personalized necklaces all being custom made by hand, they do take a while to create. We know that sometimes you just need something a little sooner, and we hope that this will help in those times.

We also have many customers who want to give the gift of a personalized Sentimental Silver necklace at a baby shower, but the mom-to-be hasn't picked out a name, or is waiting to find out if they are having a girl or a boy. Our gift certificates are perfect for shower gifts. We love that so many people want to give our necklaces as gifts to mark special times in their loved ones lives, such as new babies, anniversaries or birthdays.

A favorite gift of ours for baby showers is a custom made necklace with the mom and her partner's name on it, and a gift certificate for her to purchase the additional pendant with the babies name on it after the little one arrives.
