Vintage Locket for a Friend

February 22, 2015

A lovely customer of mine recently requested a custom made necklace for a friend's birthday.

She knew exactly what she wanted and I was happy to oblige.

Even though I began my jewelry-making journey by designing vintage charm bracelets, I've branched out into making vintage charm necklaces as well. I'm very happy they've been so well received and I really do love making them.

For this particular necklace I added a vintage charm to the front of an antique brass locket. My mission, always, is to repurpose bits and pieces of vintage treasures into fresh, new jewelry designs.
