Hank Williams Ruger Pendant

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!!

Let 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.

I am very happy with the my project. Maria was wonderful. She was professional, courteous, caring and very skilled in her craft. Thank you Maria and Custom-made very much for the great experience.

Maria did a wonderful job keeping me informed and providing feedback/pictures and updates throughout the project…it turned out awesome and was delivered on time! great experience!

The original cuff-links sent to me by Maria were not up to standard. For the price, I was amazed at the low quality of the cuff-links. Maria blamed the resolution of the picture used. The low-resolution definitely was not helpful for the quality of the cuff-links, but I trust the expert to tell me that the resolution is too low and not take my money and make the cuff-links anyway. After I expressed my displeasure at the craftsmanship of the cuff-links (words were hard to make out, the seal was not clear, overall poor quality), Maria messaged me to have me send the cuff-links back so she could re-do them. I appreciated this act by Maria. Maria accepted the cuff-links back and re-did them, mailing me the new pair. While the cuff-links were better than the first pair sent, I still did not believe they were worth $160. Again, I appreciated the communication and effort by Maria here. However, if the quality is not going to be top notch (or at least worth the $160), then the maker needs to state this and not accept doing the project. I ended up finding another person to make the cuff-links which I was extremely satisfied with.
