    "Here's a good one from when I first started out: "Can you take all
    of these tiny little diamonds and melt them into one big one?"" Oh
    my that is a great one!!! Started my day with a laugh. I have done
    five necklaces now with a round celtic box that I make in the middle
    of them and stored inside is the fur of the customer's animals that
    have passed away, last year a good client wanted me to put the ashes
    in and for that one I had to place them in a little plastic baggie so
    they would not escape from the tiny holes in the box where the chain
    goes through. I call them memory reliquiaries and love doing them.
    Strange perhaps but an untapped market for sure, the local head of
    the MSPCA found out about me and now wants me to make up a brochure
    for them to give to people when they bring their pets in to be
    euthanized. I feel honored to help them allay their grief.
