Personalized Bracelet:
MEMORY TREASURES
 

Everybody has a box of memories: those things which most of the time have no value to others, but to us have particular sentimental preciousness.

This is the Memory Treasures bracelet created for Nancy K. As a navy wife, she collected shells found in beaches from all the different places she lived and kept them in a jar. Until one day she approached me with a special request: to transform her collected items into a piece of jewelry she could treasure forever.

So she sent me her shells and also bits and pieces of old jewelry which she no longer wore but which still had sentimental value to her -- reminders of who she once was and of people in her life.

I wove the larger shells together in a rigid cuff, encasing each one in a netted bezel. Around the shells, I wove in some of the smaller items she sent me: a small Hawaiian flower, angel skin coral flowers, a Harley charm, some of her smaller shells, the top of an abalone ring and a tiny gold gecko charm.

I also added baroque pearls, angel skin coral and sterling silver charms and beads. Everything was woven with what seemed to be miles and miles of hair thin sterling silver wire.

It was an honor to create this piece for Nancy, and I hope she enjoys it as much as I enjoyed making it for her, knowing the objects had a special place in her heart.

The bracelet measures 1-1/4" wide.
