Embellished Pendant, Why Not?

Lemon messaged us on twitter requesting us to personalize a rope- lariat length necklace with a cross pendant giving us another project. 


A key element to making customized pieces is to be able to visualize what our customers want. Thus, each and every time we receive requests for customized pieces, we ask our client to send us a peg. Pegs are a great way to help us visualize the client’s personal taste and style.  After this, we offer our suggestions on how we can develop the design to make it unique to the wearer. We also give our customers the freedom to choose from the materials we frequently utilize; most commonly we recommend which materials fit their budget. 

Originally, the cross pendant was supposed to be a rhodium charm, but the shortage in variety of designs available to cross charms led us to recommend an embellished pendant instead. Thankfully Lemon agreed, so we proceeded to making samples of embellished cross pendants for him.

Frankly, there are more challenges in making simple pieces compared to bold ones. In this case making an embellished pendant was the challenge.
