Treasured Connections

"Leah took exceptional care of my gemstone, but more than that, she took exceptional care of my vision for the necklace we created. Seeing the final product was a dream come true. This necklace holds a special place in my heart because it's the sister necklace to one that my mom wears. I joke that it's our yin and yang. Thank you for helping me create something that I'll be able to pass on to future generations."

—Kellie K.

When Kellie came to me, she brought more than just a gemstone—she brought a story. The black opal in her hand had been given to her by her cousin, who picked it up at a bazaar in Afghanistan. Years earlier, Kellie had taken a white opal from the same collection and had it set into a necklace for her mom. Now, she wanted to create something special with this black opal—a piece that would reflect her own style.

From there, her custom jewelry journey began.

Kellie's personal style is a blend of laid-back hippie and edgy rock—think Vans sneakers and a chill vibe with flashes of bold style. She wanted a necklace that felt timeless but still had an edge. During her design consultation, we decided on an open-backed setting so light could shine through the opal, enhancing its natural fire. She chose a 14k gold bezel to warm the stone, paired with oxidized sterling silver for the chain—giving the piece that darker, edgier look she loved.

We played with the design, adding a small dangle at the top for a bit of flair and movement. The result? A handcrafted, One of a Kind pendant that's beautiful and timeless while still reflecting Kellie's unique style. It's a piece made to connect generations—and made to last.
