    I did just that for a mother's birthday gift to her teenage son -an
    adjustable neck cord with a pendant comprised of an antique Chinese
    coin, very simpy detailed. The symbolism of the coin, along with that
    of one of the detail beads I chose was included on my handwitten card
    to illustrate the special significance of the gift. According to his
    mother, he ha never taken it off. 

    A year later, she ordered 8 more just like it, as high school
    graduation gifts for her son's "posse" of closest friends.
