Testimonials
Hello Merry,
I ordered a bead from you about a year ago and I hoped you would like to see these photos...
My daughter married in January. She asked if she could borrow the Ash Bead that you made for me so her Grandparents would have a presence at her wedding.
She also considered it to be her something borrowed as well as her something old (my parents), something new (the bead) and something blue (also the bead).
Because I knew her groom was giving her a pendant as a wedding gift, I took a pin that my Mother had given my daughter as a child and had the bead attached to it so she could wear both.
She pinned it just under the bow of her dress, as you can hopefully see in the third photo.
Merry, I can't even begin to tell you how much this bead means to me, but it increases daily!
I want to thank you again for the wonderful beauty that you create through your work!

Dear Merry, Thank you so very much for my mother & my ash necklaces. They're very beautiful and we will wear them often, thanks to you. You truly have a wonderful talent; they're lovely! We both appreciate your time, patience & care while thinking of us. It takes a pretty special person to do what you do!
Thank you!

I have seen these beads and have felt their energy, and have been enthralled by their beauty. I can't think of a more precious remembrance.
- Warren Sanford
These beads are SO beautiful, truly one of a kind. Each one made with care, love and respect by Merry. She is an experienced artist, with a huge and loving heart. I can't imagine a better tribute to my Mother and such a beautiful way to keep a little bit of her essence with me, forever. I've had a portion of my mum's ashes for several years not really knowing what to do with them, and now I know... it was meant to be. My Mother would have loved these, she loved jewelry and beautiful things. My Aunt who is now 94 wants one too, to remember her only sister. I feel grateful I can give her this beautiful bead as a remembrance.

The beads and pendants that Merry Coor creates are made and then worn with a direct link to the heart. A challenge to light and one of my most rewarding projects ever!

Love, Love, Love this necklace! There really are no words to describe the beauty of this Bead, much less describe the feeling you have knowing your loved one is right there with you, but in an elegant, loving, beautiful way! One in a million!

these are pretty beads and very meaningful. that being said, keep in mind the photos shown on site appear to be professionally done. the blue in my beads was not this brilliant or clear. also, only one of my beads has a clear swirl. Still I would purchase again.
UPDATE: Merry has offered to redo beads I didn't love, so I will be sending 3 of them back for redo. You can't ask for better service than that. Will update after receiving new beads

Beautiful, well made, a lot of thought went into its creation- it meant more to merry than just a bead- she cared about my grandad and who he was. Thoroughly recommend.

The Mourning beads are beautiful! They perfectly represent the unexpected depth and beauty of life itself.
They were the perfect memorial gift to give my son's aunts and grandmother, to be worn close to their hearts...

Merry was wonderful to work with and I felt completely comfortable entrusting her with such a priceless task. She was very thorough and made it known that she truly cares about the loved one for which this item is being created. I could not say enough to accurately relay how happy I am with the final product and how treasured it will be throughout my lifetime and passed down to other generations. She has memorialized my mother while simultaneously creating a precious heirloom.

Its beautiful! Has a pink/purple hue in the light which completely filled my heart with joy. This is my little girl Callie, she was a 12 yr old long haired dapple mini dachshund with bright stunning blue eyes. And she will be with me close to my heart
