Have It Your Way

When I was younger my mother had a few of her rings melted down and had a new ring designed from all the gold and stones. It was big and maybe a bit ostentatious but unique. Maybe that’s why I remember it.

You don’t see many of those design events anymore but I found a jewelry store that operates that same principle on the web: YouDesignWeCreate.com. Now, they don’t re-create your old jewelry but they will design a piece to your exact specifications. Their “Our Services” page does a great job of showing you all the steps a piece will go through from design concept to finished product. It’s really impressive.

And although they have pieces for sale and do personalized corporate gifts I’m thinking a one-of-a-kind Mother’s ring would make a great Mother’s Day gift for me…
