After helping Lace Exoskeleton reach 100 likes on Facebook in September, Emily’s mother won a custom set, which she gifted to her daughter. This custom set was created just for Emily. As she adds new charms over time, her collection will grow – along with the number of possible modular combinations!

The mysterious nightshade plant, or bella donna, is a symbol of feminine beauty and mystery. To echo this idea, I included two flower charms (Swarovski crystal flower pendant in lilac; Swarovski crystal flower drop in tanzanite). Because her mother gave it to her as a gift, I wanted to include a heart to remind Emily of the love she shares with her family. The last charm is a custom purple key, to help Emily unlock her inner dreams and share them with the world as she grows.

Emily’s set also included an experimental item – toggle heart earrings – which are interchangeable. Unlike our other designs which mostly feature lobster style clasps, this innovative concept uses gravity to keep a heart-shaped toggle clasp securely closed.

The earrings include tanzanite heart drops. The bottom section of these earrings may be removed (and the earrings can be worn without it). Additional colors and shapes can also be created for this design.

All of our packaging is recycled from our bead orders. Even the twist ties were carefully collected and stored to ensure sustainability and environmental awareness.

9 year old Emily shows off her impressive design skills with her new Chain Reactions modular jewelry set (delicate base set in nightshade purple, with custom charms) – even inventing another creative technique for attaching charms!
