I just received shipment of a custom made Ming China double-sided pendant from Andi Clarke Jewelry and couldn't be more thrilled! Andi was very patient answering my questions with prompt responses and great communication. She shared the history of the pottery shard, sent photos so I could choose my piece from her collection, and explained how various design elements could impact the cost. I love the finished piece and know I will enjoy wearing it for years to come. I would trust Andi with any custom design, be it for a special beach found piece of sea glass, pebble or shard as well as a sentimental piece of china. She has a gift for creating beautifully 'framed' wearable treasures with well-crafted silversmithing accents. This is the second piece I've bought from Andi, the other being an Oahu pendant listed on her website, and I'm equally pleased with both. The pieces arrived carefully and beautifully packaged with a note detailing their origins. I can't recommend her business highly enough and plan to purchase more pieces from Andi...
Read moreMy sister in-law had some pearl drop earrings on her wishlist for Christmas and in trying to support small and local businesses I was hoping to find a local jewelry artist who made or could make something similar. I found Andi's website and she had some pearl drop earrings. I reached out to her asking if she could commission some custom earrings for my sister in-law. We discussed what I had in mind, she was super responsive and I got the earrings in less than a week. I loved the earrings so much I may ask her to make some for me or I'll look at purchasing some other pieces of her jewelry.
In terms of the purchasing experience with COVID, she took all the necessary precautions of sanitizing her hands when I got there, we both wore masks and it was a very pleasant interaction.
I look forward to making it to the Olympia Farmer's Market just to see her all set up...

Her creations come beautifully packaged. Don’t hesitate to purchase one of her works of art!...
