Sentiment
Christine was inspired to create the Phoenix pendant out of frustration that she could not provide a service to her customers that reused the metals from their original heirloom jewelry in a new piece. The hand-carved wax and cast pieces she is known for require 10 additional grams of metal to cast, meaning often customers did not have enough of their own metal to complete the casting.
Transformation
Stones are removed from the original setting with care, the remaining metal is then melted down into an organic and amorphous charm and a hand forged bale is attached. Diamonds and sapphires are then re-set flush into the new pendant.
Remembrance
The new Phoenix pendant allows you to stay physically connected to an object that was once in the possession of someone you loved while transforming it a modern and organic one-of-a-kind addition to your charm collection.
All pieces are made with care in Christine's Austin TX studio. Phoenix pendants can take 3-6 weeks to complete. Contact us today to learn more about the possibilities in your heirloom jewelry.
