Theresa,

You have me cracking up on days when I should be crying. I think the fun that we have has been a natural progression which I think the jewelry designers can learn from – if they are reading this post: it says it all about knowing you so well that I can whip up a design knowing you’ll love it 95% of the time. It’s about your happiness.

So here is what I have to say to other jewelry artists and I hope it’s not so obvious as to embarrass myself. hehe

A. We love to handcraft jewelry
B. Hopefully most of us do it for the art of it, so that we can please others with UNIQUE handcrafted jewelry that is 100% customized to the client’s needs and something that no one else in the world will have.

Don’t worry about revenues or profits. Profit should become secondary next to the rewarding experience of getting to know someone and sharing bits and pieces of our lives. I put a huge emphasis on this as my most rewarding part. I do not worry about the sales. They just come in. Perhaps because I’m so focused on making just the right thing for someone to cherish that some days I do not even check my emails for website orders.
C. Getting to know you (your clients) and having those chats and closeness gives me (all of you) the opportunity to know what your client truly loves and what they do not like at all hehe.
Theresa, I consider you my cheerleader! 🙂 You’re a blast to work with but as you can see here, Rena Klingenberg truly was like a mentor to me and I would not be here were it not for her. Thank you, dear Theresa. Love you bunches!

Deb,

I appreciate your words and I appreciate YOU more than you know – and how lucky was I to meet you by total coincidence. That story still has me stunned yet most grateful. I can’t imagine my life without you in it. Thank you, Deb.

Hugs of gratitude,

Lizzy xoxo

My friend Lizzy. I love this necklace and the meaning of it that represents your nurturing Dad. He is watching over and smiling with much love. That love shines on us as well through your wonderful jewelry. Sending my love, Deb.

I am so grateful for these beautiful comments.

Rena, as always I am so honored to be part of the Jewelry Making Journal and truly appreciate your kind words. You have taught me so much that now, I can hardly keep up with orders!

YOU are the one that did all of the work to help me (and thousands of others) through each stage of my wonderful experiences and development with making jewelry. I continue to be a beadaholic. My husband continues to hear the NOW household name, “the RenaMeister”. 🙂

With warm regards,

Elizabeth

Your story of symbolism and connection to your father further enhances the beauty of the necklace as well as the photographs against a natural backdrop. Thanks for sharing something so special.

Elizabeth, I’m so sorry to hear about the loss of your father. My heartfelt condolences. This gorgeous necklace is such a unique and meaningful way to capture his legend and journey. I love the symbolism – and as always, your design is exquisite. What an attractive way to pose the necklace. The stone stands out against the green leaves, but the color and shape make it look like a part of nature.

Kelly, when you told me you wanted this necklace I could not think of a more deserving human being than yourself. Your resilience with your transplant and health is that of light, love and respect. You are so amazingly strong and caring, I feel as if this piece is going to a family member. With that, I take great joy in sending her off to you. How appropriate too – that your daughter’s name is Autumn.

Love and Light,

Elizabeth
