Custom Clasp

I had a particularly lovely little custom order to do this week. 


Linda Weiland is an amazing woman who was recently elected as the president for the Honolulu chapter of 
Zonta; a womens advocacy group. You can check out her blog here.


Linda got some fabulous pearls from an estate sale several years ago, but sadly the clasp just wasn't up to snuff. I built a delicate little gold S shaped clasp right onto the necklace. 


Linda hand picked 3 beautiful pieces of green amazonite which I made into matching earrings and pendant, with a bail large enough to slip over her wonderful pearls.

Arrowhead

I had an interesting project recently: an arrowhead pendant.

 

T went to Colorado, and while there found a genuine Native American artifact: a broken arrowhead. 


She brought it back to Honolulu and asked me to wrap it for her. Not your usual pendant, eh?

My friend Lourdes


took one look at this Amazonite pendant while I was in the middle of putting it together and had to have it.


It looks beautiful on you, Lulu!
