I love it when idea hits me in the middle of the night! lol.

 

My aunt from America liked my jewelry but she had something specific in mind that I didn't have in my stash. So she commissioned me to make her a small red pendant in oxidized sterling silver a night before her flight back to the USA. Being a substantial jewelry lover, this was quite a challenge to me. We went back and forth chatting through e-mails to find her the perfect red color. Finally I suggested this CZ red briolette and she agreed. What I had in mind didn't work out as well as the sketch so I scrapped that idea. I didn't make anything for months because my aunt prefers to see the jewelry in person. I knew that she'd come back to visit at the 27th and I still didn't have anything for her. 

 

My parents planned to visit her (she was at another city) on the 29th and suddenly that night, I was hit by inspiration at 1 AM. I worked for 4 hours straight creating this pendant, even managed to use the scrap wire from the failed design mentioned above, finished at 5 AM, put it on the dining table in hope my parents would see it and bring it with them in the morning. Around 10 AM, I got the news that my aunt loved it! <3 YAY! Mission accomplished!

 

They brought the pendant back to be oxidized, I added a chain, and Voila! Here it is :) It's adjustable at 16 and 18 inches per her request! In total, this necklace took about 5+ hours to get done (including oxidizing and polishing time). The tiny beads at the bottom are red garnet and sterling silver beads. Initially i had 6 red garnet beads on it but I had to crush one cos six were too much. *slam!*

CUSTOMERS' NOTES:
--------------------------------



I absolutely adore the (heart) necklace!!! It is just perfect. Well worth waiting for. Thank You....... ~ Brenda C.



I have the MOST beautiful bracelet on my wrist.. THANK YOU so very much. Your craftsmanship and imaginative designs are fabulous..... Next to my wedding ring, my favorite piece of jewelry!! ! Melissa Vess.



Dear Kharisma, today the package finally arrived and I just wanted to let you know that the pendant is absolutely beautiful. For the last years I've worn the golden cross my grandmother gave to me for my Holy Communion but since she died three years ago, I've always been afraid of losing it which would have really hurt me. So I looked for a cross that I could wear instead and when I found the one you made, I was blown away. And what can I say, it was definitely worth the wait. So thank you so much for making such wonderful jewelry and keep up the good work! Best wishes from Germany, Ricarda



Wow! is incredible! This is the money better spent on any gift I've ever done! I think I can not wait to give it to my wife until May 5th or I dare before. And the presentation with the box and the paper inside is great! I almost cry when I saw it. It is the most beautiful of all I've seen, I love the detail of the heart. Surely this is the better gift for the fifth anniversary of my wedding. Thank you very much for the patience you had with the design. I hope to do business with you in the future.
