The "LOVE" Necklace

The story of the Love Necklace...


Making custom jewelry is my passion. One day while going back through my records to make sure I was current with orders, I realized that I was to make a charm for a chain for someone with the word "LOVE" on it. When I checked with the customer to find out if she was still interested, she most definitely was.


So what started out as a simple charm on a chain turned into "The LOVE Necklace Extraordinaire"! She decided she wanted charms with her grandchildren's names to stack with the Love charm. Then she decided she also wanted a couple more with her children's names. Well, that changed the whole design since I thought that would not look that good all bunched up together.


She wanted some black beads and some silver chain along with the charms. This is what I came up with. The backside of the charms feature their date of birth, too. The black disc beads are rainbow obsidian and the long black beads are agate.
