Handmade Aquamarine Faceted Necklace With 14k Gold
Client had it custom made as a surprise birth present for his wife having their first child in March. The baby's birth stone was aquamarine. So I carefully hand picked out high grade Aquamarine natural Organic beads at the gym and jewelry tradeshow ….Very beautiful light blue in color…. special order from my client who wanted this done in a specific . It was strung with beadalon wire and 14k gold filled wire and chain. Added 14k gold filled beads in three different styles and connected both necklace into one. Since I had some extra beads left over I made earrings to match as a gift from me for the new mother:)

For Unique request4.8Every 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.
