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 .
