Recommendations for horse hair jewelry maker needed.

Postby periastra » Fri Jan 01, 2016 8:17 pm

I have a lock of Peri's hair that I want to have made into a bracelet. I want sterling silver for the end caps. Who have you used that you would recommend?

Trisha at Galla Designs (http:// galladesigns or on Facebook) made a gorgeous bracelet from Bob's tail. Sterling end caps, lobster claw clasp, and I got a sterling disc(a bit extra but totally worth it). I can't recommend her enough.

I cannot speak highly enough of Trish at Galla. She made the most beautiful bracelet and belt for me - I reached out to her after seeing the photos that Paula posted of Bob's bracelet.

Not only was the work beautiful, she was incredibly sensitive and respectful of my deep loss. I highly recommend her.

Trish sounds lovely. Do you just pick your design and send a lock of clean hair?

I emailed her and we kind of picked out a design together. I mailed her a huge clump of hair which she washed, and returned the extra with the bracelet. I asked her about providing a disc to engrave And she found that for me. Yes, EP said it perfectly. She is very respectful of your loss.
