In my continued endeavors to provide brides with ways to make thier day unique, I have another lovely idea. Custom jewels at affordable prices. Why stop at the perfect wedding ring? Go a step further and have a custom choker, chain or bracelet created just for you.

Weddings are full of tradition and sybolism. You get to pick and choose which ones are right for you. Why not add the timeless beauty of custom made jewelry to your special day?

Just as flowers have their own language, so do precious and semi-precious stones. Some examples are: Pearl: understanding and love for the true values in life....touches the deepest emotions. Rose Quartz: The stone of love... sybolizes the calm and serene emotions. Tourmaline, pink: beauty, happiness and love.

Look for a custom artist in your area. Some work in traditional fine jewelry, based on castings in gold and precious cut stones ($$$). Others may specialize in custom sterling & gold wire work, pearls on silk cord, hand made beads or original clasps and findings ($). Look for someone to fit your particular style, vision & pocket book (local art fairs, and even Farmers' Markets, can yield uniquely talented vendors). A favorite vendor in the Gig Harbor area is Reverence Jewelers, on Harborview Dr.

On your Big Day, match the sparkle in your eyes with a custom sparkle at the neckline. After all, all of us ladies know that it's all about the accessories.
