Jewel's Journey

Ever since Jewel left us seven months ago, I'd wanted to find a piece of memorial jewelry to wear in her honor.  I found a lot of beautiful generic pieces with nice quotes on them, but I wanted something personal.  The generic pieces were lovely, but Jewel was so special, and I wanted whatever I got to be special, too.  I also found a lot of tiny urns and know that some people make jewelry with a pet's ashes infused into it.  But I knew that carrying around any part of Jewel besides her spirit would simply make me too sad!  So I steered clear of these pieces.

When I found a memorial necklace you could personalize on Zazzle, I knew that this was it.  After months of searching, I found the piece I wanted.  I made the decision to get it as a birthday present to myself.

At long last, here it is!


I am very pleased with it!  I wondered how the photo would turn out, and they did a beautiful job.  If you aren't able to read it, it says, "Always in My Heart," above Jewel's photo, and "JEWEL," under her photo.
