Earlier this year, while I was purging stuff in preparation for our move to the house in Hooterville, I mentioned in this post how I had made the decision to part with the wedding gown I wore when I married my hubby in 1972.
When Joy was done working her creative magic, the charm bracelet below was the result.
In addition to Swarovski crystals, pearls and sterling beads, she combined 3 heart-shaped charms made with broken china pieces and 4 charms containing lace from my wedding dress.
Let me tell you, the bracelet is absolutely exquisite in person! I am sure this gorgeous bracelet is destined to become a family heirloom.
Originally, I had planned to gift my daughter with this special bracelet on her 30th birthday next June. However, I decided to give it to her early so she could wear it to the special premiere event she attended last week in California.
If you pop over to Joy’s on-line shop to browse, don’t blame me if you want one of everything! :)

What a beautiful treasure to cherish forever. Love it!
What a lovely way to remember your beautiful wedding gown. If it had been mine, I don't think I could have ever sold it. I love the gowns from the 70's, so romantic and pretty!

That is absoLUTELY gorgeous!
What a precious creation.
Hey Shari! :) I'm glad you like what I did above all my doorways..I'm a sucker for molding too! I have plans to add some more in other areas of the house, but I have to wait until I can save up..molding is expensive! :-o
Your bracelet is absolutely lovely..what a precious gift to give your daughter, I'm sure she was touched! I still have my wedding dress and should do something like that to it too...I'd much rather wear it on a piece of jewelry, than have it stuffed in a closet somewhere! :)
Have a great day!
Missy
