"Magnet" Wings for an Earth Angel
This is a beautiful yet sad story, a story of gratitude, love, faith and strength. I do not even know where to really start to explain how much this story has effected me. I have always because of what I do been so very grateful for every day I have and especially grateful for my wonderful husband and friends.
I guess the best way to explain this piece of jewellery is to start with the email and you will know why it is so very special.(names have been omitted, I have permission to share this)

Hello Sue-Ella,
I have a slightly unusual enquiry and hope you can help. I would like to have a angels wings turned
into a magnet with room for an inscription (xxxx, true angel). While I have thought long and hard about
this, if this is not possible I am open to suggestions. Let me explain:
I have cancer and live alone. My beautiful neighbour xxxx has (for the
last 6 months) delivered amazing food and, being deeply religious, often
performs blessings. I am not
particularly religious myself however this does not deter her and to be
completely honest, in my heart of hearts, I’d like to believe there’s something
to it. Regardless, xxxx lives and
breathes the true essence of what she believes particularly considering I have
only lived here for 12 months.
I’d like to give her something to represent my immense
gratitude and her beliefs while also giving her something to remember me without
it seeming a morbid gift (if that makes sense).
I eventually came up with the magnet idea because so much of her
generosity has come from her kitchen where, being a typical Greek wife and
mother, she loves spending time cooking.
I appreciate you taking the time to read my email and look
forward to your response. Oh, and your
jewellery is absolutely beautiful, congratulations.
Kind regards,
Mxxx

Yes I broke out the tissues big time reading this email what an amazing lady wanting to leave something so special. So back and forth we went with emails photos and ideas and a very good reason and meaning for the Bea that holds the Angel Wings in the little bag that is a magnet for the fridge.
Miss M did not necessarily want to have the jewellery to be able to be worn but to me it was important so these sterling silver wings are large and engraved on the front the words that she wanted and on a long chain that can be worn at many lengths. The wings then hang in a pretty Daisy white organza bag with a daisy as a magnet and a Bea on the front. This magnet I know will be treasured and will be in the kitchen of a lovely Greek lady that loves to cook and Angels will always bless her

Dear Sue,
I wanted to let you know that I have received the wings and
they are beyond my expectations. Thank
you so, so much. They are absolutely
beautiful and the way you have presented them is perfect. You obviously invest personally in creating
your pieces which is obvious in the end result.
You are welcome to use any part of this story for your
website. You should also use my comments
above as testimony of your fabulous work.
Thank you again Sue and keep doing what you do, it means a
lot to a lot of people.
Take care,

Love and light
