Friendships are important for many reasons: they comfort us, make us laugh, are a shoulder to cry on, provide encouragement and add color and fun to our lives.
The month of August has several observances that celebrate friendships:
- Girlfriends Day: Tuesday, Aug. 1
- Friendship Day: Sunday, Aug. 6
- Best Friends Day: Tuesday, Aug. 15
While it’s not necessary to shower our friends with gifts, you may wish to show these special people in your life how much they mean to you with a small but meaningful token. Virginia jewelry designer Chrisell Vasiliou creates unique friendship jewelry that is reasonably priced while still conveying a special message.
Do you share a special mother-to-mother bond with your friend? Chrisell creates mother’s pendants that can celebrate your playdates, mom’s nights out and more.
Dichroic Pendant: Approx. 1” X 1/2”, includes 18” black Grecian leather necklace, $40.00
Is the friend in your life colorful, bright and a little jazzy? Chrisell creates Funky Fusions dichroic glass pendants, bracelets, earrings and rings that reflect multiple hues of color, adding pizzazz to her wardrobe.
Is your friend mourning the loss of a loved one? Chrisell creates memorial pendants infused with the cremated remains of a loved one. Wearing this special piece of jewelry can allow her to keep her loved one close to her heart wherever she goes.
Is your friend a strong, beautiful woman? Show her you appreciate her strength with Chrisell’s Metal Mania bracelet cuffs. These are crafted with brass, pewter and .999 fine silver plating elements. Layered on top of the metal cuff is a beautiful glass cabochon element housed in a decorative plate.
Every jewelry piece is hand-crafted so no two are exactly alike; each piece is truly a labor of love by Chrisell. You don’t have to limit your friendship celebrations to the month of August, but it’s a nice excuse to show them how much you care.
