Custom Keepsake Inclusion Lake Formed Pendant Medium-Small with Fixed Sterling Silver Paperclip Chain

Keepsake Lake Formed Pendant Drop: A Tribute to Cherished Memories

Create a deeply personal and unique memorial with a Keepsake Lake Formed Pendant Drop. This special piece allows you to carry a beloved memory close to your heart, forever intertwined with the calming essence of the lakes.

Lake Formed Drops celebrate nature's raw beauty. I harness the primal forces of sterling silver, sand, and the sacred waters of the Great Lakes (or any lake) to create unique wearable sculptures. Through the alchemical process of hand-casting molten metal, I transform these elements into one-of-a-kind pieces that embody both artistry and nature.

This listing is for a medium-small custom keepsake Drop that will be Lake Formed with your inclusion and comes with a sterling silver paperclip chain that is fixed directly to the Drop. The potential shapes are listed below, but please note that each piece is one-of-a-kind, with an organic and freeform nature. The final shape emerges through the unique casting process, ensuring that your keepsake is truly individual.

My Process:

  • I begin with enough sterling silver to craft a medium-small pendant, ensuring a comfortable and wearable size.
  • Before beginning the transformation, I take a moment to hold space and love for your inclusion, honoring its significance and the memories it carries. Then, with utmost care and respect, I gently transform your precious inclusion into ashes (if it's not already in ash form), which are then lovingly incorporated into the molten silver. This sacred fusion binds your memory eternally within the metal.

    Your inclusion can take various forms, such as:

    • Cremains 
    • Flower petals
    • A lock of hair
    • Clothing (must be a material that will create ashes and not melt)
    • Handwritten notes
    • Breastmilk
    • Other small, meaningful items that can be transformed into ash

    Regardless of the original form, each inclusion is treated with the utmost care and reverence throughout the entire creation process.

  • You have two options for the water and sand elements: a) Choose from my collection of pre-existing lake combinations, each carrying its own unique energy. b) Send me water and sand from a location special to you or your loved one, allowing for an even more personal connection.
  • Through the mystical alchemy of hand-casting, I let nature guide the final form of your pendant. Each piece emerges as a one-of-a-kind creation, shaped by the elements themselves. The possibilities are endless as to the shape that appears. Your pendant might take on one of these organic forms:
    • A thin, flatter shape
    • A thicker, smaller medallion
    • A free-form 'drop of paint' silhouette
    • A smooth, river stone-like form
    • An intricate, coral-inspired texture
    • A delicate, leaf-like structure

Each Drop captures the essence of the lakes, with sand specks embedded within, serving as a grounding talisman. These pieces carry the wearer back to the tranquil presence of water, a place of profound peace. My jewelry doesn't just adorn; it connects you to the serene power of nature, wherever you go.

Remember, the unpredictable beauty of this process means that each pendant is as unique as the memory it holds. Whatever shape emerges, you'll have a tangible connection to your cherished moments and the soothing presence of the lakes. Each Drop is cast by hand, creating a one-of-a-kind, wearable sculpture poured just for you.

Wear your Keepsake Lake Formed Pendant Drop as a personal talisman, keeping your precious memories and the tranquil spirit of the water close to your heart always.
