Gold & Silver: Annual Birthday Charm

I have been graciously invited to embark on an Annual Charm making journey with a wonderful family, for their new Little Girl!

This series will be grow by one charm each year…


Eighth Birthday Charm:

This year this girl is crazy about Cheer! She was accepted to an elite cheer squad, and this little charm marks her passion. Her Mom said that she’s seen her daughter do this pose thousands of times. : )

Sterling Silver. 2cm long


Seventh Birthday Charm:

Annual charm, marking a move to the mountains.
With this simple charm, we played with finish of the metal – making the mountains a matte finish, and the snow caps on them highly polished. The river picks up shine, as it meanders from the mountains.

This was an exciting year, for this annual charm client – her daughter was able to have input on the design of this years’ birthday charm!
As always, I provided several design concepts, and this year the little girl was able to choose.
(She has wonderful taste – she chose my favourite design ; )

14K yellow gold. 2cm long


Sixth Birthday Charm:

Her Dads’ hockey jersey – what wonderful rink-side memories she must have!

Sterling Silver. 2cm


Fifth Birthday Charm:

A move to Edmonton, Alberta this year! So here we have a mini-map of Edmonton, with the North Saskatchewan River raised across it. The Alberta crest was laser engraved on the front as well. On the back “Hakuna Matata” (each word printed by each of her parents), this was laser engraved as well.

14K Yellow Gold, 2cm long.



Fourth Birthday Charm

Makeup was a big discovery this year. And Frozen is her favourite movie. So I created a teeny-tiny lipstick case with snowflakes on it!
