The Art Of Giving
Bestow a work of art on friends and family with handcrafted finds.
Lynne Konstantin I Special to the Jewish News
There's an art to finding the "just-right" gift, and it becomes that much more meaningful
when it's handmade. Not crafty? Not a problem. We've compiled a roundup of our
favorite handcrafted finds — many made in Michigan. From food to furniture, we've
found something for everyone on your list.
Dig out the out-of-fashion diamond jewelry you don't wear
anymore and have Neale Stone, of Stone's Fine Jewelry,
create a truly special piece, like this 14k white-gold
hand-cast pendant with 1 carat total diamonds, an Art Deco
chain and inspired by a vintage design. Of course, if you
don't have the diamonds, he can supply them. $3,500
with jeweler's diamonds/less if you supply your own.
Stone's Fine Jewelry, West Bloomfield (248-851-5030).
Now, "mixmasters" of "mixtapes" can make homemade CDs and DVDs
as cool on the outside as they are on the inside with an assortment of
Zeichen Press Mixpaks (made of recycled chipboard). $5 each. Available
at Goods, in the Park Shelton, Detroit (313-871-1466; goodsdetroit.com )
or zeichenpress.com .
