Whether you’re feeling homesick or a proud transplant ready to rep your new ZIP code, Rachael Sudlow’s custom state necklaces<\/a> are perfect for showing off\u00a0some local pride.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Rachael, who grew up and currently lives in Kansas (what she calls “a rather bland shape of a state”) first got the idea for her necklaces when several friends moved away and wanted charms to represent their hometown.\u00a0 Rachael said, “My first piece was a little Kansas necklace, and soon after that, my friend requested one for her new hometown in California.”<\/p>\n

In addition to hand sawing the recycled silver of each state to accurately represent borderlines, Rachael personally inserts Gemological Institute of America-certified diamonds to represent specific cities.\u00a0 “I love doing custom items and incorporating a little custom personality into each piece.\u00a0 Having something specially made for you makes the piece truly an heirloom,” said Rachael.<\/p>\n

The custom state necklaces are perfect gifts for your friend moving away or your personal hometown hero!\u00a0 Also available is the United States Necklace<\/a>, for those who pledge allegiance to all<\/em> the states of America.<\/p>\n
