Your Story

Read a little of what people have had to say about their Q Handmade necklace. And thanks to all of you who have written me such wonderful notes about my work & what your necklace has meant to you. xo

 

My sweet friend Erica’s necklace came in the mail today.  I had to catch my breath a little……it’s perfect, and she will love it.   Thank you so much for your sweet note.  Sometimes a tragedy leads us to our true purpose in life.

Just a quick note to let you know that my necklace arrived and that I love it!  You do such beautiful work and I’m grateful for the personal touch that one can add to the piece by choosing the words to put on the disc.  My mom loves it so much that I will most likely be ordering another in May for Mother’s Day!

I just received my necklace… I love love love it!!! Thank you so much! You should take pictures of everything you make and put it on your website.  It is such a pretty and special necklace.

Thanks again, Melissa

 

What a wonderful day – the sun is shining, our summer holiday is just around the corner and I received my beautiful Q handmade necklace today! I absolutely love it – thank you so much:) I will certainly tell my friends about your great products!

I wish you a wonderful summer!

Sincerely, Elin (NORWAY)

 

I just wanted to thank you for the gorgeous necklace.  It is just as perfect as I imagined it would be!  I wear it every chance I get, and I find myself trying to spread the word about your truly unique company.

It was such a pleasure to purchase this necklace from Q HANDMADE. You were always quick to respond to any questions, and I received the necklace in a timely manner.  Thank you for the wonderful customer service and the absolutely beautiful and meaningful addition to my jewelry collection.  This is definitely a piece of jewelry I will be purchasing as gifts for others in the future.  Simply perfect!

Sincerely, Emily

 

I love how Q Handmade combines the styles of shabby chic and vintage where it’s easy to wear with casual or cocktail attire.

I bought Q Handmade necklaces for my sisters with imprints of their children’s names. They love that you can add, remove, or change the pieces as our family grows.

I was given a QHandmade necklace as a gift shortly after my twin girls were born.  It is so cute and stylish, and a cool, modern way to demonstrate my pride and love for them. Christine is a true artist.

The necklaces are individually made and she’ll work with you to customize them based on your needs and wants.  Now I want one with charms to display my husband’s and my initials, as well as the girls’ names, so I can show off my whole family.

Not a day goes by without someone asking me where I got my necklace. It’s the one thing I never take off no matter what!

I first noticed the Q Handmade necklaces on some of my friend’s who had their children’s names engraved on them and I had always thought they were beautiful. My sister and I had lost our mother a few years ago and I thought this necklace would be a special thing to have. I ordered two identical silver discs with my mother’s name engraved and gave one to my sister and kept one for myself. I wear my necklace all of the time and am constantly getting compliments on it. I love and cherish it.

Dear Christine,

Christmas is my favorite holiday so it was extra special to receive your handmade gift this year – my beautiful gold necklace with three discs, one for each grandchild. I immediately knew that some of my closest friends would love to have one of these as well. I have given several as gifts to them.  As a grandparent I carry photos of my grandchildren with me but now I have their names close to my heart.  I have received so many complements on my necklace from strangers that I now carry your business cards. Thank you!

- Barbara M (Virginia Beach, VA)

 

Every time I put on my Q Handmade necklace, I feel like I’m making a statement.  I’m declaring who I hold close to me…and I’m excited about adding more names someday (children!).  I love giving these necklaces as gifts because they feel so personal.  And it’s fun to wear something that gets so many compliments!

- Cassie L (Los Angeles, CA)

 

I get stopped everywhere about my Q Handmade necklace. It is so high quality and so well made and it really shows. I started with just the one circle with my 1st daughters name on it. I had specially requested an extra distressed circle and it came out perfect. Then my husband felt left out so she put his name on a little one and put it on the same little ring. After I had my 2nd daughter, Christine put her name on the circle with my 1st daughters name! I mean it has just been the gift that keeps on giving! Christine is easy to work with. You can expect something personal, professional and artistic. Thank you Q Handmade!

I adore my Q Handmade necklace. My favorite thing about it is that I can bring the people I love most with me wherever I go!

– Lisa H (Larkspur, CA)

 

I love that my Q handmade necklace is a versatile every-day piece that looks great with almost anything I wear.  I receive tons of compliments, which reminds me the necklace is a great gift idea for other moms that love their munchkins as much as I do!  My daughter thinks it’s special that I wear something that reflects her name.

– Laurian E (Arlington, VA)

 

I received my Q Handmade necklace as a gift from my Mom, celebrating the birth of my daughter.  I love having my necklace with me, especially when I am away from my daughter.  One quick glance in the mirror, or a rub on the silver and I am reminded about my wonderful little one!

– Carrie M (Denver, CO)

 

I originally ordered one Q Handmade necklace w/ my daughter’s name on it.  This is a piece of jewelry that I wear everyday and never worry about taking off (I shower w/ it, swim w/ it, etc.)  I loved it so much that I ordered a second style necklace w/ mine and my husband’s initials on it that I wear on a second chain.  It’s such a stylish look when worn together and the great thing about it is they never end up tangling. I’m not the only one who loves my Q Handmade necklaces.  My daughter loves to look up at me while I change her and play with my necklace.  She does it all the time and it’s super sweet.  I think this necklace is going to be a piece of jewelry that she will always remember her mommy wearing and playing with it.

Love, love, love my necklace from Q Handmade!  My “latest” version has my three girls names, plus my husband’s initial on a small disc…I always wear it when I am away from them because it’s one way I keep them close to my heart when we are not together. :)  I know it was handmade with love, which makes me appreciate it that much more!

- Carissa M (Setauket, NY)

 

I love my necklace!  It reminds me of my three little angels who are my pride and joy and whose lives make MY life have meaning.  I have yet to wear it without receiving at least one compliment. Thanks you, Q Handmade!

– Laura M (Fallbrook, CA)

 

I have two Q Handmade charms. I love them both. We have 3 children and their names are on the first charm. Two years ago we had a surprise pregnancy and ended up losing the baby at 18 weeks. We delivered a little baby girl. Her initial “B”  is on the second charm with “LOVE” on the back. This charm is especially meaningful because it is a way for me to remember her, to keep her close and to say that she mattered. It is my connection to a life that we had for only a short time. I cherish my Q Handmade necklace. Thank you!

– Jenn F (Salem, VA)

 

A couple of years ago I was looking for a necklace which has my kids names on it and hadn’t seen exactly what I was looking for until I saw Christine’s and had to buy one!! I wear it all the time and get asked frequently from friends/clients where they can get one.  I am gladly to pass along Christines # b/c  I know everyone who buys one will LOVE it and buy more as gifts!!!

- Gina C (Westlake Village, CA)

 

I love my Qhandmade necklace.  I wear it all the time and it never fails that I receive multiple compliments on it each time!!!  But above everything else, I love that I am always reminded of my sweet little boy Cole every time I wear it.  Its also an amazing gift to give.  They are beautifully made and yet so elegantly simple.  I LOVE THEM!

- Carrie P (Encinitas, CA)

 

I receive compliments on my QHandmade necklace everywhere I go. From friends at my moms’ group, to my doctor, to strangers at the grocery store! I’ve worn it almost every day for 3 years because it means so much to me.

– Genessa C (Aliso Viejo, CA)

 

I couldn’t take it off after Rose was born! My necklace was the only piece of jewelry I’d wear. And as she gets older it still is. Now she loves to look at it too.

- Lily G (Washington DC)

 

Qhandmade is not just a name. Christine is a truly gifted artisan. My necklace keeps my girls near me even though they’re all grown up.

– Carrie G (Oak Park, CA)

 

I was searching for the perfect bridesmaid gifts and then it hit me…why did I not think of Q Handmade earlier???  I was able to get 7 unique and personalized gifts that can grow and adapt with my friends and family.  Q handmade is my new go-to for any occasion.

– Trish G (Venice, CA)

 

My Q Handmade necklace is one of my favorite pieces of jewelry!! I have so many mom’s stop and ask me where I got it.  It is so well done, and Christine is brilliant with her designs. I can’t wait to order one in gold!

– Andrea W (Sherman Oaks, CA)

 

Just want to let you know that I received the necklace.   It looks WONDERFUL.    I love it.  I know my daughter is going to love it.   Thank you also for the extra disc.  That is exactly the look I was looking for.  I really appreciate your WONDERFUL customer service…

Thanks again, Judy

 

I just received my necklace. The best purchase ever made online and looks better in person. Thanks and good luck with your business. I will be sure to pass the word!

 

I’m a 22 year old college student and I recently spent a month and a half in the hospital undergoing emergency surgery to remove my colon. Not fun, especially since there were a lot of complications. Luckily I made it through and as much as I would like something permanent to commemorate the ordeal I’m not the tattoo kind of girl so I’ve been looking for customizable jewelry. I go back in a few months for a second surgery and I think your necklace will be the perfect way to remind myself that all I need is strength and hope.

Thanks, Anonymous

 

Hi Christine – the small disc are my initials and the larger one is my blog – loving. living. small. :) I really like your style and stamped silver. Can’t wait to wear it!

Best, Rebecca

 

Wanted to let you know that I got the necklaces.  They are beautiful!  I am giving Theresa’s necklace to her on Sat. the 18th.  Thanks again.

Ellie

 

Thank you–Very prompt.  I am excited because most of the engraved jewelry is too cutesy for my sister.  This is trendy and classy, so it will be perfect.  I really appreciate it and will be glad to shop with you again.

PS Thank you for accommodating the 4 names.  I appreciate it.  You are very easy to work with!

Jennifer

 

I just have to say the necklace is so beautiful – I just love it.  I was a bit nervous buying it as I had never seen one except in pictures but am so happy I went for it. My boys are so pleased I have their names on my jewelry!

Once again thanks for the prompt reply – I will be sure to pass on how great your product and service is.

Best regards, Sharla (CANADA)

 

I just wanted to tell you that I just got the necklace today, and I really love it! It is beautiful and just what I’ve been looking for and wanted for a long time.

Thank you so much!!!!!

Angelike

 

You are awesome Christine…..I will certainly be doing business with you again!

Kari

 

I love it. I’ve had several people comment on it as well!

Thanks again, Jennifer

 

I just stumbled across your website and I love your work!

I want to buy a gift for my sister who is finishing medical school. My hope was that I would be able to engrave a latin phrase on a pendant. Would it be possible to engrave “AD ASTRA PER ASPERA” on one of your charms?

I grew up in Kansas. The Kansas state motto is “Ad Astra Per Aspera” which is Latin for “to the stars through the wilderness” or “to the stars through great difficulties”.  ;)

You are awesome! Thanks for getting it done so quickly.

ELISE

 

I love your necklaces!  My friend just ordered one because she saw mine and loved it.

Thanks! Beth

 

Hurray! I’m going to take a picture of it and put it on Facebook and let all my friends know!
