We just received a very neat email from a recent customer who had purchased a Chinese Symbol pendant as a gift for someone very special.
Michael lives and works in China, while his girlfriend lives and works in Virginia. But 7000 miles doesnt keep this couple apart. They rely on Skype to keep connected and to be together for those important events such as her birthday.
We feel warm and fuzzy that we could be a part of keeping this special couple connected.
To Jeanne and Lynn, Thanks so much for all your help getting this present to Amy in time for her birthday.

The view from my jewellery bench today.
Its later than Id expected, but this afternoon I finally got back to my jewellery bench to do some making work.
It was just a tentative step with only three pieces being made for delivery to a couple of shops, but its a start.
This week I also need to get stuck into a big batch of etching now that I finally have some silver stock after running out of the required pieces late last year.
However, before then I need to do a massive clean up in the studio!

Each piece of Sorella jewelry is created custom made-to-order. When we receive an order, we start the process of creating the piece. Quite a few steps and artisans are involved in creating a single piece of fine jewelry. And if a piece doesnt come out flawless, we start over. As a result, it takes a bit of time to create your piece usually two to three weeks.
With this standard delivery time, shipping is included free of charge via UPS Ground. If youre located close by our Michigan studio, that can mean delivery overnight. If youre located in California, it can mean as much as four days in transit. If youre located outside the US, delivery will take longer.
We realize that sometimes you just cant wait.
