Wedding gifts..





My dear friend Nicole is getting married this weekend. And I am going to her wedding in Atlanta! So I decided to skip the usual gifts and made something for them that they can keep forever! I made a pair of cuff links for David and a necklace for Nicole. You can see the whole (well almost) process on my Flickr. I really hope they'll like their gifts!

  2. I just made necklaces for bridesmaids who are in my friends' wedding. I made the maid of honor a pair of earrings too, they match the pattern on her dress. Since my present to them was to make these pieces for free I felt badly that they didn't have anything to keep so I made the bride a pair of earrings too. It is fun being a jeweler!

  4. thank you Janice. I am really starting to take more photos of the whole process. It's also nice to have and look back at once a piece is gone.


    kim I know, It's so much fun to be able to make something yourself. Something they can hold on to forever to remember their special day by.


    Thank you Lisa! I am still pretty new to setting stones and kind of learning through trial and error.. hee hee. sometimes you get lucky I guess :o) I am hoping it won't be too crazy hot.. That's one of the reasons I moved to Philly. Us Swedes don't do so well at melting point...
