I decided to spoil myself.
My birthday is on 22 May and as you know it was just Mother's Day.
So what better way to treat myself than with a gorgeous pendant made by the beautiful
Belinda of Belinda Saville - Handcrafted Jewellery
I fell in l♥ve with this beautiful Sonora Sunrise Chyrsocolla cabochon as soon as Belinda posted it on her Facebook page.
I just knew a custom order was called for!
So, then began the beautiful journey that is a custom order with Belinda Saville.
The design, to be honest, I left mainly up to Belinda other than telling her that I wanted a bail large enough to enable the pendant to be interchangeable with something as fine as a silver chain or as chunky as a strand of coral beads.
Belinda suggested we leave the back of the pendant open so as not to cover up too much of the beautiful cabochon.
Which she complimented with her beautiful hallmark stamp.
Do I feel spoilt?
ABSOLUTELY!
If you haven't checked out Belinda's beautiful blog be sure to drop by and say hello and be sure to tell her I said hello...
...or even better visit her Etsy store and spoil yourself too!
Her pieces are as gorgeous as she is and who would have thought that she has only been working with silver for a few months.
Pure talent.
Belinda, thank you for being such a beautiful soul and spoiling me with more than just my beautiful pendant. Your talent is an inspiration and that in itself is a true gift.

Beautiful cabochon but even more beautiful mother/son photos! :)
Aww thanks Amy - I was happy with the photos... Spencer usually pulls the silliest photos so it's hard to a get a "nice" photo.
Totally beautiful pendant, love the colors.

Karyn, it was such a pleasure to work with you in bringing this pendant to life. I knew this stone was special when I bought it, so it thrills me to know that it has a loving home with you now :-) Thank you SO much for asking me to make you this special treat for your birthday...I'm honoured and humbled and I hope that you will love wearing it for years to come!
