"JJ Singh took a coral and gold necklace that was an elegant every day staple in my mom's wardrobe and combined it with a sentimental piece of my mom's costume jewelry so that I could share a piece of my mom with each of my sisters for their birthdays.  Her incredibly magnificent bracelets created an unexpected "moment" at our family dinner table as I watched my family stumble back to a time when our mom still graced our family table along side of us.  It was like resurrecting her love and passing it along to them."

These two necklaces provided enough beads to create multiple bracelets that were then given to the other women in the family. The small butterfly is a reminder of the little creatures she was so fond of.

What we did:  Created a bronze cuff centerpiece and added vermeil star beads and chain with miniature applique butterfly.
