One of our long-time customers came into the store with a
tiger eye and black onyx necklace that needed to be restrung. She had also brought a large carved jade centerpiece
that she had never worn, because she didn’t like it as a stand-alone pendant. As she brought out the two necklaces side by
side, the muted tones of the jade and the earth tones of the black onyx and
tiger eye complemented each other in a way that suggested they should be
brought together.
It would have been a very simple process to just add the
pendant to the bottom strand of the three-strand necklace. However, the two would really shine as one
integrated piece. The inspiration for
the new necklace was to place the jade on its side, creating a stunning focal
point accessorized by the three strands of tiger eye and black onyx. In its re-design this necklace evokes a new and
dramatic energy and look. The best part
is that it was customized as a one-and-only piece just for our customer.
It’s always so exciting to re-design a new piece out of
forgotten old pieces that sit in a drawer, unworn and unused. We invite our guests to explore the infinite
possibilities of creating something new from components of your jewelry
collection and ours. Perhaps you have a
pendant that calls for a necklace to be designed around it, or a necklace that
needs a magnificent centerpiece. Come in
for a free consultation. We can’t wait
to customize a new piece of jewelry just for you!
