Superhero Arms Necklaces with Gold Bangles

Story-time: Loss, Friendship & Memorial Jewelry This is Rachel. She died unexpectedly on May 4th 2023. We were friends for 28 years. This photo encapsulates her personality. She was a force - fierce & passionate. She took no shit. If she loved you, she loved you hard.  We shared dreams together, visions, creativity, loss, weathered hardships, & celebrated our joys.  Memorial jewelry is private, raw, sorrowful & powerful. They are special items to honor & remember our loved ones.  This is how I honor Rachel & our friendship. She had this thing. She would always find the arms of action figures. Just lying on the ground. Only the arm or, occasionally, a leg. I knew this about her. Sometimes I would even find one, pick it up, & mail it to her. Just to share in their strange phenomenon in her life.   Well, her sister gifted me some art supplies of Rachel’s. Including her jeweler’s hammers, pliers, old castings, rubber molds, a few of her paintings, & books.
