Rainy Days = Creations

Busy, Busy, Busy...
What else are you doing to do on a rainy day???

Forgotten Dreams

I was commissioned by a wonderful customer to create 2 cuff bracelets from a family heirloom. Once upon a time there were three sisters, now there are only two. But the middle sister that passed was not to be forgotten in these creations. The lovely platter was a gift for a 25th wedding anniversary to the parents from all the children, this was all inscribed in the middle of the platter, which I saved for my customer. We worked on it together, she wanted the wider cuff with detail in the pattern that I followed along with my jewelers saw. I carefully filed, sanded, polished, and with great care engraved the names of the 3 sisters inside the 2 cuff bracelets. I have been working with silver and mixed metal platters for quite some time now but I have to share with you that I was a little more than nervous cutting into a very personal piece. With such large bracelets there was no room for error.
I presented them to her and she was trilled to bits. She slipped hers on and put the second away to be presented to her sister upon her visit this spring.
I am so happy to be able to turn time worn cast offs into new wearable treasures.
Thank you Mary for trusting me with something that was dear to your heart.
