Testimonials

quote 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!

- Janet Murphy
(my daughter has asked me to thank you as well)

quoteI 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.

quoteThese 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.

quote 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

quote 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.
