A Gift to Give.

Time and again I have seen how the act of giving, even something as small as a smile can end up returning to me the peace, health, and happiness that I strive for.

So this holiday season I would like to give every customer who orders a regularly priced photo tile necklace or bracelet by November 30th a $75 gift card to Elemental Memories packaged and ready to give.

My hope is that you will pass this gift on to a friend, loved one, or even perhaps someone you wouldn't normally give a gift to, but you know would appreciate it.

Wishing you peace, health, and happiness this holiday season.

I had so much fun creating this new photo tile necklace. At home at family dinners or out at the speakeasy, "Vintage" is fun and sassy ~ my favorite kind of photo jewelry!!

In this video I talk about the inspiration for "Vintage" (I even dance a little at the end) .

Enjoy!

I know what I'm giving my Dad this Father's Day

My dad will be getting his very own Boston Locket with a photo of my 2 older brother's and I.

It really makes me a bit sentimental thinking about giving this gift to my dad. My mom passed away 10 years ago of breast cancer and well as obvious as it is, we are their children. We are, in a very real sense, his link to her and seeing this photo of my brother's and I together as adults (I had my husband take the photo quickly a few weeks ago at a birthday party) well it's really special. He's so hard to shop for and I'm very excited to give him this gift.

Reminder: this friday June 5th is the last day for Father's Day non "rush" orders.

The Ultimate Mommy Necklace!

New to the shop & just in time for Mother's Day is our "Buds to Bloom" necklace! It features a gorgeous cluster of beads, 1 hand stamped mom charm, & a custom photo tile! It is frilly and fun with just the right mix of girliness for mom. Check it out at http://www.em-jewelry.com/buds-bloom.html

Sneek Peak! New for Mother's Day.

NEW!! Mother's Day Custom Photo Necklace.

Hand stamped charm, baubles of beads & custom photo tile.

So new it is not even up on the site yet! Look back in a few days & we should have it available!

Just for Him!

Most men I know don't wear photo jewelry. This has presented a problem for me, since as a wife, daughter, and mother of 4 boys - there are lots of males in my life that I would love to give one of my pieces to.

So I put my creative juices to the task and after months in the making, it's here and I can't wait to give my husband his for Valentine's Day!


It's our new “Boston Locket”.

The Boston Locket is a slide top "secret box" that holds a custom ¾” x 1” photo tile with room for a personal inscription on the back. Inside there is a secret note scrolled at the top that you can write any sort of romantic, meaningful, or personal sentiments on.

There is an optional sterling silver key clasp, key ring, or chain with clasp (like a pocket watch chain), and it can even fit a second photo tile!



Who is it for?

It would be great for new Dad's (with a pic of his new baby), Husband's (with a romantic photo in it or family photo), or as a father of the bride gift (think picture of old photos with daddy and his little girl), oh there are so many possibilities!

I just love the fact that when it is closed it looks like a block of wood with a funky design carved in it. Nobody would know that there is a special photo/memory in there, nobody but him that is!
