Six Sisters Beadworks – How to Find the Best Custom Keepsake Jewelry / Six Sisters Blog

Collaborating with a designer to make custom keepsake jewelry for a loved one is a thoughtful gesture, but it can be difficult to choose the right piece. A lot of times, you don’t know what you’re looking for until you see it! So if you’ve stumbled upon this blog in hopes of inspiration for that bespoke gift, you’ve come to the right place. There are a few key features you should keep in mind when considering custom keepsake jewelry:

Quality. There is certainly a lot of jewelry on the market these days. You are not alone in wondering how to tell if the jewelry you have in mind is high quality, especially online! It’s only possible to craft the highest quality jewelry when you combine exquisite materials with superior craftsmanship—you can’t have one without the other. Actually, noticing a lack of quality in children’s jewelry was the reason I began making my own. That way, I could thoughtfully source materials from Solid .925 Sterling Silver to natural gemstones to ensure it would last for years to come.

Options. Keepsake gifts are only as good as their options for personalization, as it’s important that the piece is made with the unique wearer in mind—basically, what makes them such a special part of your life. For example, if your goal is to personalize little girls earrings, I have options such as birthstones, initials in different typefaces, and adorable charms for you to choose from. This allows you to celebrate her unique characteristics. Be sure to have a mirror nearby, little ladies love to admire their coveted new earrings as soon as the gift is unwrapped!

Timelessness. While it’s nice to keep modern jewelry design in mind when browsing, you aren’t looking for a trend that will fade as quickly as the season. Instead, look for styles you envision being worn for years to come. Our custom keepsake jewelry is made with classic heirloom quality materials like tarnish-resistant 14K Gold Filled and Antique Silver, so each piece will stand the test of time both in style and quality. Further, it’s designed to grow with you. I offer an exclusive add-on and re-sizing service for those who want to give their legacy pieces an update.

Client Care. I know that purchasing a custom-made gift can be a bit risky—you have to trust the jeweler and with something you haven’t seen. I’m here for questions or to help you find the perfect heirloom gift. My keepsake jewelry is designed to be a gift that gets handed down! So I want to make sure you absolutely LOVE it.
