Accepting Custom Orders on The Celtic Knot Sister Necklace

The Celtic Knot Sister Necklace is one of my favorite designs simply because it was made in honor of my own sisters, both living and the two that have passed.  It is also meant to honor sisters everywhere!  My experiences with designing custom necklaces for customers has been the most wonderful experience!  One of my favorite customers decided to give her sisters and her niece who had lost her mom to cancer Celtic Knot Sister Necklaces for Christmas.  Through a series of Etsy convos, we designed four necklaces based on what colors would be best suited for each sister and her lovely niece.  I added a charm to her niece's necklace simply because I know how hard it is to lose your mom at any age, and I lost mine very young.  The results were beautiful and the journey was priceless.  After the holidays were over, this wonderful person asked me to design a Celtic Sister Necklace just for her!


Another wonderful customer liked the grouping of the beads along the chain of this necklace.  She had four sisters and the beads were grouped in fours.  A few other  customers simply thought that the necklace was a beautiful way to honor their sisters whom most referred to as their closest friends.


The focal point of the necklace is the Celtic Knot itself which to me represents the lifetime bond between sisters; no matter how complex the relationship, it is one of the purest forms of love around. The groupings of beads and crystals along the delicate diamond cut rollo chain have been said to remind people of the number of sisters they have and can be customized accordingly. Each grouping usually consists of an oval semi precious stones, matching swarovski round crystals and matching swarovski pearls. Delicate findings or spacers are combined with the beads for an overall polished look.  The piece is tied together with an antique toggle clasp. 

Charms can be added to the chain for an additional $5

If you are interested in purchasing this necklace for a gift, simply send me a convo and tell me what colors would be most suitable...even if it's a gift for yourself! Based on details such as color and length of chain, I can recommend a design for your Sister Necklace that's just right for you! And it will arrive beautifully wrapped and ready for giving!  I will include a paper copy that details how I came about creating this design!  Allow approximately two weeks for the creation of this design...so if you are interested, let's start the conversation soon!!

Pure Beauty Vintage Style Necklace by Zur Designs

This 20 inch vintage style necklace features a beautiful blue glass drop nestled in an antique style bead cap, surrounded by bead and brass charms and held together by antiqued brass chain with a swirly toggle clasp.

Love Squared by Zur Designs

I once had a friend say to me that he didn't like when people said, "I love you," and expected it in return. He said the reason it bothered him was that it made it too commonplace a phrase, like "see you later!' and wasn't a strong enough expression for what being in love really felt like. Yet he didn't feel comfortable replying with something a bit closer to his feelings such as "you are part of my own skin". It was as if what he felt was beyond love...and saying "I love you" simply wasn't enough.

So it got me thinking about a love like that...it was self-assured, confident, and impenetrable and I started to wonder what a design would look like that would capture that feeling of love. I realized that it would definitely glow.

So I used my shiniest crystal, a round crystal ball that reminds me of a disco ball, and even used my shiniest chain, a diamond cut sterling silver, that glittered in the light. I added shiny charms, one of them a bright red sterling silver heart and some red and clear swarovski crystals dangling from the side.

And I called it "Love Squared". Love Squared is 19" end to end and can be purchased in my Etsy Shop.

Love Squared...when a simple "I Love You" isn't quite enough!!

New Orleans Blues Vintage Style Necklace by Zur Designs

The focal point of this 24 inch necklace is the extra large faceted crystal in a deep rich color blue. Add to that an ornate elongated bead cap, an antiqued bronze filigree decorated with vintage lucite flower and swarovski crystal accents, and a large vintage key. The piece is tied together with a wonderful antique brass chain and held together with a vintage style swirly toggle clasp.

A friend of mine was playing  bluesy,jazzy New Orleans style music on his sax while I was creating this necklace and it reminded me of the rich and vibrate history of New Orleans that not even nature can take down!  And The New Orleans Blues Necklace was born!

Precious Sterling Silver Necklace

Precious is defined in the dictionary as "something or someone who is highly esteemed, valuable, cherished, dear, or beloved". I think this is a perfect word to describe how I feel about those I love. I even a a "thing" when anyone who is dear to me is about to drive away, I really HAVE to say, "Drive safe...precious cargo!".

If the word precious was a design it'd be this sweet little 19" necklace. The brilliance of the Swarovski crystal heart pendant surrounded by chains of pearls and crystals, and perched on a sterling silver diamond cut chain that is adorned with swarovski crystals, a tiny heart charm, and a fabric flower. The whole design is tied together with a sterling silver bail and antique style toggle clasp.

Maybe you have someone in your life that is precious to you...even if it's yourself! :)  The photo was taken with a beautifully ornate wedding dress!  (Thanks Nicky! :))

Precious can be purchased at my Etsy Shop and arrives gift wrapped and ready for giving. And remember, there is always FREE SHIPPING at Zur Designs!

Timeless Love Vintage Style Necklace by Zur Designs

The focal point of this necklace is a vintage rose, once part of an old brooch, that I found at an antique shop. I mounted that on a filigree and tied it in a pale green ribbon and then surrounded this centerpiece with chains filled with czech glass beads, fabric flowers and unique antiqued bronze findings. The 16 inch vintage twisted rope chain  is so beautiful and is held together with a swirly antiqued bronze toggle clasp.

The use of these vintage materials to create something brand new brings to mind some things in life that are truly timeless; the powerful beauty of nature, the strength of the human spirit, the undying beauty of this little vintage rose, and often times, the timelessness of love itself.

Giving Timeless Love as a gift? It will arrive at your door beautifully wrapped and ready for giving! And remember, there is always FREE SHIPPING at Zur Designs!

Wrap yourself in timeless love!  Timeless Love can be purchased in my Etsy Shop!!
