Denise's Silver Smiley Face Pendant W/Shadowbox Eyes-Smile

Denise wanted to replicate a smiley face pendant that she had stolen back in the 70's…. I brought her dream of replacing something she loved dearly! I fabricated this done round smiley face with shadow box eyes. The eyes have genuine Turquoise cabochon that sit deep into the eyes. I soldered on the bail and added a very nice sterling silver chain. She said her eyes puddled when she saw the picture I took, just can't wait to her from her after she receives it in the mail:)

    Maria was a pleasure to work with. She was the first person to bid my project, was the most reasonable in price, took an idea in my head and made it come to life, and her work is beautiful. I'm very happy with her finished product.

    It's really an amazing thing to have an idea one day, and to be holding the idea-come-to-life in your hand a week or two later. The Sterling silver necklace Maria made for my daughter (of her dojo's name, in Japanese) is beautiful, and my daughter was SO happy to get it for her 15th birthday. And what a fantastic experience I had working with Maria! She was so attentive, so responsive, so enthusiastically willing to work with me to develop and execute my idea, and so skillful (and quick) in creating the final product. Not to mention that hers was, hands-down, the most reasonably priced bid I received. A "perfect storm" of excellence. Thank you, Maria!
