I’ve run across many things in my day as a serious shopper. Recently one thing made me stop in my tracks. It’s this charm view image by Magic Dog Studio, that was created based on my daughter’s self-portrait.

Jennifer Bunt (the creator of Magic Dog Studio) is an exceptional jeweler. But what truly sets her apart is her inspired concept: capturing something special from everyday moments with your child, and puting it in a form you can carry with you always and forever.

From a thumb-print to a hand-print to your child’s drawing, Jennifer transforms the everyday into wearable art. She offers a wide array of necklaces, bracelets, key chains, cuff links and tie tacks. Each
piece is carefully and lovingly created by hand, and Jennifer is wonderful to work with.

Now, I must warn you. When you receive the finished piece you may shed a couple tears—it certainly happened to me. I simply could not believe how Jennifer transformed a self-portrait of my daughter into a charm that I will have forever.

Mark my words, Magic Dog Studio will be the thing that everybody puts on their "gotta-have" list for any and every holiday for years to come. Keep in mind that each piece takes about four weeks to make as each piece is hand made. You’ll want to order soon in time for the holidays. (Ahem, ahem, hubbys and significant others!)

So while Jennifer made the charm, so did my little girl. And that’s something I’m going to cherish forever!
