Commissioning custom-made jewelry

February 2, 2022 4:19 PM

I'd like to get my girlfriend a necklace with a pendant in the style of the NYT Spelling Bee that spells out her name. (Luckily, her first and middle names have exactly seven unique letters!) Not looking for anything with precious metals, gemstones, etc. Any idea where I might find someone who could make such a thing? Thanks!

Best answer: Brittany at bmf jewelyr can make you a lovely pendant, NYT Spelling Bee style; probably wire would suit your specifications best. She has done custom work for me in the past and it's always been fantastic and reasonably priced.

This Etsy seller makes a hive necklace and initial necklaces, and might be able to make something custom...

Or it might be possible to laser cut it from wood from an Illustrator file- maybe try asking this designer.

I imagine this as an enamel charm, preserving the signature Spelling Bee yellow. This company does custom enamel, though I haven’t worked with them before and can’t speak to price/quality.

Response by poster: I went with Brittany at BMF and she did an amazing job! Thank you for this recommendation.
