Jewelry can be hard to give as a gift. Tastes are so personal.
I have been approached to transform unworn pieces of sentimental value into pieces the owners would wear.
This was a beaded garnet, silver and brass necklace from Nepal and given as a "pre-engagement" piece. The husband decided to have a piece created with the garnets that his wife would more readily wear.

The result is a 32" necklace in 14k gold that can be worn long or doubled as a necklace or wrapped 5 times around the wrist as a bracelet:
This leather wrap bracelet originally came from a beaded necklace comprised of garnet beads from 3 generations of women, including the woman who gave the necklace to her dear friend.
Her dear friend wanted to honor the woman's gift of these garnets that came from 3 generations of women by wearing them, yet in a fashion she would wear. The result is this leather wrap bracelet.
I have done the same with a couple pieces inherited from my mother. They were hers, and I've made them mine, while honoring her memory.
