Recent commissioned creations

This past month I've had the privilege of creating some special pieces for customers to give to their friends and loved ones.  As you know, I looove hearing the story behind each special commission, and these pieces were no different.

The first was a pair of fun gemstone earrings created to celebrate a special lady's milestone birthday and her love for swishy and bright earrings.  Made from lab-created and naturally occuring gemstone beads, I'm loving this design so much I think I might add similar designs to the store.  What do you think?

The next commission was not a new design, but a large scale commission by a groom who wanted gifts for his groomsmen and loved ones attending his wedding.  Each set of cuff links featured literary characters that fit with the wedding's theme - I can't wait to see the wedding photos!

Finally, we come to two locket necklaces that had my heart melting when my customer made her request.  She loved our mother-daughter locket sets, but wanted something that referenced the precious relationship she and her step-daughter have with each other.  Isn't it just so sweet!
What kind of jewellery designs would you commission for the special people in your life?  Something book-related,  or something featuring gemstones or their birthstones?
