Angela sent me a file of the work she wanted on the sterling silver keychain so what I did was ask her design on 218 gauge silver sheet.. Cut it into a 2x1 inch rectangle, oxidized it and gave it a satin finish made the key rings which I beaded the ends so that they lock.

For Unique requestEvery category could get an extra star (but shipping, little expensive for my small piece but done very quick) Everything was done in a very personal yet professional way. Even when my custom piece was not what Maria does day to day but she took it in stride and executed an amazing piece with some very specific parameters. She has a lot of skills and communicated every step of the way and also asked questions when they were needed. I will be working with her again.

For Frank's BraceletMaria Varnalis is an outstanding artist. I needed a duplicate 'VI hook bracelet' made as a gift for my girlfriend at the time. Maria was incredibly reasonable with the price and budget. Constant communication throughout the whole process. She made me feel comfortable enough to send my bracelet as a reference.The final project was perfectly priced, arrived early and crafted beautifully. I don't think anyone else could have done a better job. (I didn't end up with the girl, but I'm sure the next worthy one, will love it :) ) Thanks again for everything. Very professional, highly recommended.
