Pets make great charms too!

Dog keepsake pendant frontDog keepsake pendant backWe’ve recently been getting a number of requests to make our charm pendants and cufflinks from pictures of clients beloved cats, dogs and even horses! I just wanted to share this as it’s a great idea.  Here are some images of a lovely dog, whose images are on a double sided, round china and silver pendant charm.

I knew I had a picture of the bespoke silver acorns somewhere…

following the last piece about Kate Middleton’s wedding jewellery…

You can see the last piece on the Personalised Jewellery Diary when we talked about designing your own oak leak or acorn jewellery… but I wanted to just add a picture which I knew I had somewhere (it was on my mobile phone) from when I last visited Emma at the studio.

And here it is – some beautiful examples of sterling silver (electroformed) acorns and acorn cups both made into bespoke silver personalised jewellery.  Please visit our main site’s bespoke personalised charms page.  Or phone us to ask about what we can and what we can’t make into your own personal jewellery.  (By the way, there isn’t much that we can’t.)

design your own oak leaf & acorn jewellery

handmade silver or gold jewellery charms and pendants – for your princess… (or for yourself… or for your children…)

Gold plated bridal leaf with black pearl charmAll that chat in the media about Middleton acorns and oak leaves and family crests (and one retailer we saw selling something along those lines for thousands!), when all the while you can get onto our e+k charms unique bespoke jewellery website (or phone 020 7251 8562 if you prefer the old-fashioned ways) and plan to make your own family heirloom or crest ~ which we’ll make into a unique and valuable keepsake for you to enjoy forever…

Why not start your family’s own tradition.  Take a precious souvenir from your home or garden (like an acorn or a leaf, or almost anything) or a memento like a shell and e+k will electroform it in sterling silver and/or 22ct gold if you prefer, and handmake a charm (or a unique brooch) which you can wear the next time you go to a royal wedding…

e+k can make anything into a silver or gold keepsake

Unique bespoke jewellery keepsakes at a surprisingly affordable cost… Check out the other bespoke, unique jewellery keepsake ideas and see our unique handmade charms collection for more ideas.

the most amazing and most personal charms in town

scientific imagery on picture pendant from e+k charms

You can see more amazing images like this at the BBC website but in the meantime look at this one which e+k charms have just made into a precious memento for the scientist who created it.  The image has just won an award for scientific imagery which enhances our knowledge and understanding of the world in which we live.  This is actually a mouse embryo.

The other side of the picture pendant was the same Cambridge professor’s daughter’s drawing. All the picture pendants at e+k charms are two sided on porcelain, preserved by a special process by the craftsmen at Royal Worcester.   The picture pendant was one of many charms made for a necklace, all in sterling silver.

Following the news of Susan Sarandon’s children’s teeth bracelet, it seems that people will make the most extraordinary mementos into bespoke jewellery.

is Susan Sarandon taking personalised jewellery too far?!

star wears personalised bracelet with her kids’ teeth charms

To be fair I have seen a picture of the charm bracelet and it’s not so obvious and it does include gemstones too.  So I don’t mind at all but it makes you wonder what else you can have made into jewellery…

Of course you could send your kids’ teeth to e+k charms and they would make it into a silver plated charm (or finished in gold if you wish as a choice).  In fact ~ subject to size ~ e+k charms can make anything into a new and unique charm for you.  You choose… Have you seen the items that they have already hand made into bespoke unique jewellery?  I don’t think that they have done a tooth but they could!

I will find out what is the most wonderful (leaving aside “weird”) precious item that they have made into jewellery.  Watch this space.
