How To Wear A Lariat

One of our most popular styles is one that constantly seems to mystify our clients because this necklace has NO CLASP!
But calm down, it’s OK! The solution to a secure necklace is very simple. 
Just loop the pendant portion on the necklace through the opening at the opposite end TWICE and you’ll have a secure fit.
Easy peasy.  Watch this clip for a demonstration.

How To Use Memorial Jewelry

❤️‍🩹Sensitive Content Warning❤️‍🩹
A couple of years ago we lost our precious little bunny, Pearl, during what was supposed to be a standard procedure at the vet, we miss her everyday and still talk about her. We had her cremated and for two years now her remains have been locked away in a tiny box. But I figured since we offer memorial jewelry (wearable crystal pendants that feature a tiny compartment for storing contents of your choosing), I thought it might be a nice idea to fill one for my youngest daughter since Pearl was “her rabbit”, and also use this as an opportunity to give a tutorial on how to fill these tiny pendants.
(**Note: It is recommended to wear disposable gloves for this process, and these are included in the kits we send out, as well as all other items shown in this video except for scissors)
1) The funnel included in the kit is customizable for this project and will require you to snip away some of the tube to allow larger materials to pass through.
2) Place the funnel over the pendant opening and use the spoon to fill. **Use the smallest grain material Only** (I will admit, this was the saddest part. I’d never seen cremation remains before 😔)
3) Use the toothpick to fully press material through
4) Assemble the glue cap and snip the end to open, glueing just the threads on the cap of the pendant, then secure the cap immediately.
❤️
We understand this topic may be a very sensitive for some, but we have had some clients asking how to properly go about using these kits.
And we’d like to thank our sweet Pearl 🐇 for her help in this 💗 🌈

How to Measure for a Bracelet

Here’s how to ensure you order bracelets that FIT properly! Also make sure to always pay close attention to item details and descriptions to see if what you’re ordering is adjustable or not.   Most bracelets will come with a 1/2" extender to make sizing easier.  However, the best way to determine bracelet size (for adults and children) is to use a piece of string or ribbon.  Use the string to measure loosely around the wrist, as you would wear a bracelet.  Then lay the string next to a ruler to find the length.  Our sizes are listed with the 1/2" range included, simply determine which size your measured length falls into.  If you still have questions, feel free to contact us!
