This was a gift for his girlfriend who lost her earrings and he wanted them duplicated… He sent me a photo of her with her earrings one, but we both managed to figure out how to make these. It was a challenge, I cut each heart out with a small hand saw. solder together with a long sterling wire that I also made into an ear wire…. turned out great!

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.
