…………..There are all different types of necklaces…..and then there are LOCKETS……A locket is so much more than just a necklace. It has sentimental value. It has a compartment to place a keepsake…..a picture of someone you love or even a lock of hair…..maybe a lock of a baby’s hair……Coming at the end of the week…..so I have been told…….”THE LOCKET”………….I designed this locket quite a while ago, and I’m happy to finally be able to bring it to you…..It is part of my new Sterling Silver and Sterling Silver and Gold plate, made in Italy collection…..Jac and I loved to sit out on summer evenings, and look at the moon and stars. It was always a wonder to us that every person that every existed on this planet, from the cave men and women on, all looked at the same moon we were looking at now…….Jesus and the Apostles, Mary Magdalene, Julius Caesar and Cleopatra, Leonardo Da Vinci and Michelangelo, Elizabeth the first and Katherine the Great, Napoleon, Columbus and Magellan…every Chinese Emperor….Native Americans, and ever man woman and child, from every continent that came before us…..all looked at the same moon. For thousands of years to come [hopefully], long after we are all gone, the people living then will be looking at the same moon. Will they be wondering about us?………Jac loved the constellations and could point them out to me. I’ve tried, but I can’t find anything but the little dipper anymore…..On one summery clear night at the beach on Fire Island, when the stars were very bright, I showed Jac the Milky Way. She loved it!!!!……We would always say to each other…….”I love you over the moon, and beyond the stars”….We would give each other cards that had the same or similar sayings……….On one trip I made without her, I came home to find a paper on my pillow that read, “I love you over the moon and beyond the stars”. I kept it…..After Jac passed I framed it, and it hangs over my night table. It is the last thing I see before I go to sleep, and the first thing I see in the morning…………The locket with the stars and moon is inscribed with this saying. The locket opens. It has a red lining, and you can put pictures inside of the people you love…..The locket will be available in Sterling Silver with the Cubic Zirconia stones and Sterling Silver with Gold plate, again with the Cubic Zirconia stones…..Each locket will be inscribed………”I love you over the moon and beyond the stars”……………a wonderful present for someone you love beyond the moon……………..Happy Holidays…………………..Love………………….Louis

Louis-your stories touch my heart! My DH and I have been so busy lately, we meet each other coming and going. You just reminded me it is important to MAKE time for the memorable moments in life that keep us connected-just a note or a kind word!
I look forward to seeing the locket. I know it will be special.
Dear sunbluesea…..at an early age Jac’s mother would sit her and her sister Marianne down to write thank you notes whenever they received a present or were invited to a party, Jac became a letter writer and always sent out her notes….something that is a lost art……Now a days you may get a text….maybe!!!Jac was the one who started leaving notes, and cards to me, and I learned quickly that this was very meaningful to Jac so I started leaving her notes too. It was always the unexpected ones that mattered the most. They were always a surprise and always brought out an unexpected emotion…..I miss her notes…I have draws of greeting card that we sent to one another…It’s a very little think we can do for one another. I’m sure your husband would appreciate them as much as I did.
