This customer wanted wings on a sterling chain that look like Coldplay's Album cover so I etched the sterling silver with the design from the Album cover and cut around the wings…. made a pair for him out of sterling and added them to the chain.

For Alyssa's Rutilated Quartz RingI wish there was a rating higher than 5 stars, because Maria deserves it! She was professional, kind, knowledgeable, and helpful. I am SO glad that I got to work with her! I would happily recommend her to any of my friends for their custom jewelry needs, and she will definitely be the first person I turn to in the future for this kind of project.

For K's silver pendantI have had this idea of making a tamga as a pendant for years now, and Maria was amazing in helping making this a reality. She was easy to communicate with, professional, and very pleasant to work with. I couldn't be more pleased with the end result and I would absolutely recommend her work! Overall, a very smooth and great experience!

For Pendant ProjectLet me just start by saying, I didn't know if this was even possible to do. I threw out the idea on this site and was contacted by Maria saying it was a project she would take on. I cannot be more pleased with the results.
She contacted me with in thirty minutes of my post to get additional details. Once we talked about the finer points, she made an proposal and let me mull it over for a day. Once I accepted, she started right away, finishing and getting it to me in less time than she proposed.
The workmanship is amazing, the details stand out brilliantly in my pendant. This high quality piece is a wonderful way for me to commemorate the release of my first full length novel.
A million thanks to Maria Varnalis for taking on this project and bringing it to life for me! I would definitely recommend her for your projects and I will be happy to use her again in the future.
