Breathtaking
It took me a little while to write a review because I have been grieving so hard about the loss of my dog Missy Girl. Gina was so responsive with me initially when sending Missys ashes she even called because I was so hesitant to send her ashes to her. She made me feel comforted and even sent the rest of the ashes she didn't use back to me. The piece she made for me with my Missy Girls ashes was so beautiful. I cried with happy tears when I received it. I am completely satisfied and feel closer to my Missy Girl with this piece made by Close by me. Thank you so much.
My son & I LOVE our necklaces with the sacred cremains of our beloved daughter & sister, Alicia <3
I received the most precious gift in time for my birthday on March 17th from closebyme jewelry ❤️ Inspired by my son, Evan’s, passion to do something very special with his big sister, Alicia’s, ashes, he & I decided to have necklaces made so we could feel Alicia’s heart so physically close to our own hearts ❤️ We researched & found Close By Me Jewelry. The owner/founder, Gina, could not be more attentive, sensitive & kind Gina helped to make this a spiritual, loving & creative experience❣️ One of the things that drew Evan & I to Gina’s design was that the sacred ashes are so visible… Evan chose a dog tag… I chose the North Star with Diamonds… Diamond is Alicia’s birthstone Gina’s message resonated with me about creating the North Star pendant… She said that every night since her Mom’s passing, when she sees the North Star she blows it a kiss, knowing it will reach her Every night when I look at the sky, I speak to the brightest star, my daughter, Alicia Evan & I also had our necklaces engraved… Since Evan & Alicia always considered each other as Partners In Crime, he chose to have engraved “P.I.C.” Also, Alicia always made many references to "LYFE" Gina & her team were able to get everything Evan wanted engraved on the back of his dog tag... P.I.C. 4 LYFE, his sister's initials & poignant dates... In Evan’s words, “Even though Alicia used lyfe deliberately to be her trendy unique self, if you urban dictionary lyfe, one of the definitions is “Love your family everyday” double win ♥️” I had my necklace engraved with Alicia’s signature… Thankfully, we saved many of her cards to us which she always signed “Lishi LuLu” Gina & her team engraved her signature perfectly just as if she signed it herself!! Evan & I are so pleased that Gina & her incredibly talented team created for each of us such a unique & priceless wearable memorial
