My boys are growing up faster than I care to think about. It seems like every time I blink they’ve grown an inch. Sometimes it feels like a foot! Getting quality time with them isn’t easy since they have much better things to do than “hang out” with their un-hip mom. So, when I had the chance to review a piece of jewelry from Lauren Nicole Gifts made from my kids art I literally jumped at the chance.
Lauren Nicole specializes in hand stamped silver personalized jewelry and hand made family keepsake jewelry. All of our designs are hand made to order just for you. Our unique designs include handwriting, baby footprint, baby hand print, child’s artwork, monogrammed, wax seal and mommy jewelry. We would love to design something just for you!
I’m not a big jewelry wearer –but I love all things shiny!! So I perused the website and it took a while because there are LOTS of choices. Finally I found the 1” Sterling Silver Child’s Artwork Key Chain. It was right up my alley – only thing was, I have 2 boys, so I was hoping it could be double-sided.
The folks at Lauren Nicole Gifts were super accommodating and said no problem (for a VERY small charge). Now I just needed to get the boys to draw me something. Getting them to sit down for more than 3 seconds is a feat in itself.
They went back and forth between drawing a picture and just writing a saying. I finally decided on the sayings. The sayings are an “inside joke” between me and each of the boys individually. It’s something sweet they will STILL share with me!!
The quality of the key chain is really nice. It is The charm is a 1” Sterling Silver rectangle and has a 1” in diameter Stainless Steel key ring. The weight is substantial in your hand AND the detail is amazing. It is an exact replica of what I sent her. It shines just like I like! 😉 They were SUPER helpful, like I said, letting me personalize it to be double sided and the shipping was super-fast!
Now whenever I’m feeling like they’ll be off to college and married tomorrow, I can look at my key chain and bring back all the wonderful memories of sleepless nights, diaper changing, the terrible twos, and threes, the evening homework fights, the nagging to clean-up your room and eat all your broccoli, the teenage “attitude”, the endless driving to and fro…and know I wouldn’t change it for the world!
