Gift of the Week – Deirdre and Company

Deirdre and Company – Custom Jewelry

Forget big box jewelry for Valentine’s Day, get a special custom piece from Deirdre and Company. I was introduced to Deirdre and Company a year or so ago. Deirdre makes custom jewelry. She loves using your logo, your words, your images or your vision to create something that celebrates you.

I received one of her necklaces from my networking group. They had it designed to look like the logo of the group, without feeling like you are wearing an advertisement. I have had people outside the group comment on how pretty it is without realizing it is a representation of a logo. It gives a sense of belonging to the group. Each time I wear it, I think of the group and the director.

Recycled ‘Sea’ Glass Necklaces

A custom piece costs more, but she has some great options that are affordable for any budget. At just $20, the recycled ‘sea’ glass necklaces are a great way to spread words of encouragement or just plain spread the word.  You can customize each necklace by choosing glass color, cord color, and glass shape.  Hand-stamped aluminum charms, recycled “sea” glass, and 18″ velvet cord (adjustable to 20″).

They carry a number of stock words to choose from. For just $10 more they will put the word of your choice on a necklace (up to 9 letters).  If you order 10 of the same necklace with the same custom word your price drops back down to $20 per necklace.

Who gives jewelry as a gift?

Jewelry may seem a little personal for a business to give. I think this gift works well for image consultants or life coaches. If you are a life coach that knows your client well, you can choose a word that will reflect great meaning to your client. It may be their word of the year or a goal you are helping them work towards. Image consultants can choose colors that will look good for their clients and perhaps choose a word that reflects your business philosophy.

Make it more meaningful.

Choosing the colors and words are a great way to customize this. Relate them to your business or your client and the gift will be more meaningful. A hand written note to the recipient always makes a gift more meaningful as well.
