This has got to be the most perfect "metamorphosis" transformation I have ever linked to Susan's Between Naps on the Porch "Metamorphosis Monday" party!
My baby sister commissioned this "Remembrance Pendant" to be made from her recently deceased husband's wedding ring and her own, as well. He passed away on April 20th of last year.
The outer ring is his wedding band in its original state & her bands were melted down into the wave formation with the diamonds added to the crests of the waves. To me, they mimic the white foam in the caps of the wave. The center wave swings freely with any movement.
What a wonderfully creative way to be able to wear the symbols of their love every day! If my husband passes away before me, I am sooooo going to have this done with our rings.
She is doing well, having rented out her big, beautiful home in AZ & taken a full time job on Maui! She is lovin' it! For someone who spent her entire adult life living in the desert, she sure has an affinity for the water.
I am joining Yvonne's Tutorials, Tips & Tidbits party because this is a just a GREAT idea.
I'm also linking this post to Marty's (A Stroll Thru Life) for her newly named meme, "Inspire Me Tuesday".
She has changed the parameters of her party to include lots more things than just tabletops. I think this particular post fits right in...it sure inspired me!
"You can link up anything, crafts, DIY, projects, food, sewing, painting, gardening, tablescapes, vignettes, anything you have been up to and creating."
The pendant is beautiful, Rett. Thanks for sharing it. Good to know that she is doing well and moving on with her life while still remembering and treasuring their love. Like your header, too! Looks like spring!

ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful remembrance of their life together. I'm so happy your sister is doing well and enjoying her new life in Hawaii. And what fun for you that you can visit her in such a spectacular place. I love Maui.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a lovely work of art and such a symbol of their love. Very impressive. The goldsmith did a wonderful job. It is so heartening to hear how she has gone on with her life, something I am sure her late husband would have wanted for her. It sounds like your friend could teach us a lot about life.
ReplyDeleteOh, good heavens, Rett! This is one of the most touching things I have ever seen!!!! What an absolutely incredible way to honor the memory of her husband and the life they shared!
