Birthstone Pendants

Braggin' Rights granted!

These cute pendants were custom made upon request from a loving Son to his Mother, and two Sisters-in-laws. Great idea! They are made from Sterling Silver with soldered loops for stone attachment. He wanted the family last name (Vinson) on the two for the in-laws(along with their kids birthstones) and one with a cut out "V" for his Mom and her 5 kids. Talk about a large family, but there's nothing like showing your family pride with these keepsake pendants.

Stones are Swarovski Crystalized Element mixes with Garnet, Amethyst, Aquamarine, Diamond, Emerald, Ruby, Sapphire, Opal, and Topaz. Plus, a white Fresh Water pearl for June.

A wonderful gift idea!!!!

I'm Baaaaaaaack!

Back from the whirlwind of a holiday trip to Texas....it was nice to be home for a while, but I'm glad to be back into the groove of things in NC! We just found out that the Marine Corps will be moving us to Amarillo, TX in June! We're excited!!!

I plan to continue my handy work, but hopefully have a better set up than just in a garage like I do now....so hot in the summer and cold in the winter! Brrrrrrr! But, I'm continuing to do custom orders until we have to move, but it will be a few months before that happens...

Below are some new items I am posting on my Etsy website so be on the lookout!
