Necklace Made With Wedding Dress Lace (medium sized) | 14k Gold | Custom Gift

My turnaround time is 14 business days from the day that I receive your material.

Wedding dress lace, satin, and tulle can all be preserved in our jewelry. Also, material from baby blankets, military uniforms, old shirts or ties, graduation tassels, we've even made jewelry from a dog's favorite stuffed toy!

You simply order the pieces you would like, and then mail me your material. When I receive your material I will email you notifying you, and will give you your due out date. After your order is complete, I will mail it out along with any leftover material or lace.

If you are having your dress altered at all, I suggest asking your seamstress or tailor to save anything they cut off. (This was how I started this business! After asking my own seamstress to save my lace before know what I would do with it.) If it's after the wedding, or if you don't need alterations (lucky you!) you can usually cut from the underside of your dress. Most of the time under your dress you will find a wide inseam that can be cut from without making any noticeable changes to the outside of the dress.

I have come up with a special technique, to preserve the lace or material in a waterproof resin. We also only use sterling silver or 14K gold (except for the leather wrap bracelet), these two things combined make for heirloom quality jewelry. There are now ways to do this using clear bubble stickers over your lace, but I do not believe in treating material that is so sentimental in a way that isn't lasting.

Yes, since it is a liquid resin that hardens clear, you should expect your material to look as it does when wet. This is usually slightly darker, and with thinner material, slightly transparent. I have tried to show examples of many different types of lace in my shop to show the different outcomes, but if you have any specific questions please let me know. You can also find more examples on my facebook or instagram account. FB @thelacestudio IG @the_lace_studio

Please message me before you order with the date you need them by, and I will try my best to accommodate you.

All of the jewelry can be made with any material, even if the example photos are of lace. If you are sending in a solid piece of material (not lace or tulle) then you do not have to have a background color, since there are no "holes" for the background to show through. You can choose custom color at checkout. If you still want to add color to your pendant I will fill the pendant up 1/2 to 3/4ths the way with your solid material, and then the rest let a background color peek through.

I suggest polishing your jewelry with a polishing cloth designed for either sterling silver or gold. These can be found at most big box stores, jewelry stores, or hobby stores. I DO NOT suggest any liquid solutions as they can damage the resin. The resin part of your jewelry should only be wiped off with a little water and a soft cloth, like you would clean your sunglasses with. And, as with any jewelry, care should be taken when swimming, bathing, or showering, taking it off beforehand will ensure a longer life for your piece.
