Memory Pendants® Keepsake Jewelry offers Timeless Way to remember Loved Ones

EVERETT, WA— L. Huff man Studios, an artist owned and family operated business, offers a timeless way to remember loved ones who have passed on with their line of Memory Pendants® keepsake jewelry. Memory Pendants® are handcrafted out of colorful dichroic glass and can be customized to securely hold memorial ashes, a precious lock of hair, or both.

Works of art in and of themselves, they are a discreet and elegant way to memorialize relatives, friends and cherished pets. With a keepsake of their loved one close at hand, the bereaved experiences a sense of comfort and peace through the grieving process. As beautiful as they are meaningful, Memory Pendants® keepsakes are all one-of-a-kind and come complete with a certificate of authenticity.

Made of fused dichroic glass which reflects a vibrant and lively array of colors, Memory Pendants® come in a variety of styles—many of which incorporate sterling silver. Customers select the colors to be used in their piece and decide whether or not they would like the ash and/or hair keepsakes to be made visible. In addition to the lock of hair or ash keepsake, which is worn around the neck non-wearable keepsakes include: Worry Stone and a Hanging Memorial.

Memory Pendants® were first created in 2003 by the artist behind L. Huff man Studios, Linda Huff man, after the passing of her cherished dog Daisy. Linda decided to create herself a wearable keepsake incorporating Daisy’s memorial ashes as a source of comfort during that difficult time. Since 2003, over 1,200 pendants have been uniquely crafted with care. It is Linda’s first-hand understanding of the grieving process that makes her so sensitive and compassionate to her customer’s needs.
 

Many satisfied customers are taking comfort in the peace of mind that Memory Pendants® bring them:

“I just want to take another minute to tell you how much I appreciate all you have done. This being such an emotional issue, you could not have been more caring, sensitive and thoughtful. And your responsiveness and friendliness have really made this whole process such a warm experience. In corresponding with you, it is so clear to me that you truly respect your customers’ situation and handle it with the full understanding of what your precious jewelry means to each and every one of them.  For this, my family and I cannot thank you enough,” said Nancy in Colorado.

We received the sample and information in the mail today. Wow, am I impressed! I was surprised; the pendant is truly amazing. We like it so much that we are placing the product on the floor. It’s a pleasure to work with you,” according to Monarch Society, Inc., Denver, CO.

“Mrs. Smith came and picked up the pendant the other day. She (along with the three of us) absolutely loved it. She told me that the past week had been a very hard one on her but when my call came in that the piece was here she felt a sense of relief come over her. We all think that it turned out beautifully and were very impressed by the craftsmanship. I am sure that she is going to get many compliments on it. It really was a perfect tribute. Thank you again for everything. We were impressed by your sensitivity, professionalism and felt comfortable with the ease of working with you,” wrote Jill Sherman, Frurip-May Funeral Home, LaGrange, IN.
