One of the things about being a jewelry designer is that there’s a lot of opportunity to make<\/i> gifts for people instead of buying them. For example, this Mother’s Day, I made my Mom a custom Family Tree pendant with my birthstone, my sister’s birthstone and her birthstone. I tend to work in silver primarily, but Mom is much more of a gold woman, so I picked up some 14K gold-fill wire just for her piece. (Gold fill is pure gold in basically a thick plating. With gold $1500\/oz right now, even though it’s not solid gold all the way through, it’s still gold, and thus, not exactly cheap!)<\/p>\n

The gemstones are April – White Topaz (substitute for diamond), May – Emerald (genuine), and August – Peridot.<\/p>\n

Mom has been wearing it every day since she reports and has even gotten compliments on it when she was out for lunch the other day. Something like this is a unique way to show family ties and to remind her of the three of us together.<\/p>\n

I’ve made Family Trees for other people as well, so if you want one made for yourself – in silver, gold, with chips or rondelles, small or large – just drop me a note. I’m happy to work with you on something custom that’s meaningful and beautiful for your enjoyment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
