Custom Mother's Day Gifts by Daphne Olive

This year get the best mothers day gift ever, a custom keepsake by Daphne Olive, featuring your own child's artwork!  

The story:

It all started when Daphne wanted to make gifts for the grandparents fromher daughter June's drawings... we are so happy to have her drawings made permanent. we will always be able to remember how she saw the world at this point in her life.
  You can see Daphne's line of jewelry from June's art in her 2012 catalog   

How to order gifts from your children’s art:

1. Call or visit Quirk to order 804.644.5450 /  or email: info@quirkgallery.com
Daphne can make your children's drawings into earrings, pendants or key rings.
the price for the first item is $165, the price for each additional item (from the same image) is $55.

2. Submit the drawing in digital form to info@daphneolive.com
scanned images are best, but you can also send a photo of the drawing.

 All drawings must be ordered and submitted by April 18 so Daphne has time to make them in time for Mother's Day.

 * Remember that the drawing will have to be shrunken to jewelry size, so simple line drawings are the best. Too much detail will be hard to translate to that size.

3. The final piece will be 1.35" at its longest side, not including chain, ear wires or key ring. please specify if you would like for it to be smaller.
The jewelry is stainless steel with sterling silver chains and ear wires.

4. all sales are final.
