Q.
I actually have 2 questions. MANY years ago one of my daughters made a pendant for her grandmother, round, with her stone in the middle and children and grandchildren around it. I can't find something like this to make, but what I would like to make, if logical, is a cross with my stone in the middle and then children and grandchildren within the cross and perhaps a chain of the birthstones of the greats. Have to say I have 8 children, 20 grands and 24+ greats so far. The chain effect would allow me to keep adding to it. Is it cost or logistic prohibitive to do such a thing? Thank you for an answer.

Design Idea B162
 We do carry cross pendants with stone mountings in a variety of styles. Use the cross pendant as your focal and hang it from a neck chain made up of gemstones/birthstones set in Wrap-Tite® settings intermingled with chain. A fantastic example of this type of chain is Design Idea B162.

This technique is affordable and gives you the versatility to add on additional links as needed. See the materials and resources listed below for products and instructions.
