Gold Butterfly

$200

Ron wanted a custom made butterfly for his girlfriend, with her fraternity Greek Letters on the butterfly …. I etched her name also and handcut the Greek letters on the left. This butterfly is make out of yellow brass and then I polished it and then gave it a satin finish, final steps were electroplated with 14k yellow acid base solution/ and again with 14k yellow cyanide based solution for a deeper gold color. He will surprise her with this gift.

    I am thrilled with the final products… she re-plated two pieces of jewelry for me… one was a very old antique locket engraved with my grandmother's name… it looks beautiful and the engraving shows perfectly. I would recommend her readily and would use her again!!

    Couldn't be happier with the outcome of this project! Maria was very friendly, attentive and easy to work with. She did any and all adjustments I requested, to meet my desired end result. Communication is a big deal to me, as is getting it done right. Perfect score on all fronts. Glad I found Custom Made for this idea of mine and extra glad to have Maria Varnalis be the creator of my beloved golden eel necklace charms. Thank you!

    Very happy with the final product. Maria worked with me very closely, carefully explaining each individual step of the process and fielding my numerous questions. The final product was exactly what she promised, and excellent for the money spent. The whole process was painless. Highly recommended!
