Keepsaking for Men

Memories continue to be in the making from the stash of our dear local lady who passed away, last year.  Recall the stash from which I recreated ankle bracelets, necklaces, and earrings for surviving family members?  Not only did one of the young ladies ask me to work out a matching bracelet for her ankle bracelet, so that she can wear it in her wedding, this summer, but the mother of the bride asked me to design cuff links for the father and the brother of the bride.

So here we are with silver plated cuff links:
The mother of pearl rectangular focals 
were once magnetic clip on earrings. 
Bits of silver chain and  
 a couple of rhinestones
hug together on both sides. 









The silver leaf links
(I personally love leaves)
were reborn 
from bracelet links, chain,
 rhinestones, and other bits. 










I soooo love my customers.  They bring new ideas to the table and thereby expand my horizons.
