Gold Lake Winni charm?

[Twox48]

I would like to find a Lake Winni gold charm for my wife's charm bracelet. Online search turned up nothing. Any ideas where I can order one?
Thanks in advance!

Not gold but pewter.

They might be able to help you find a gold charm.

Looks like here are some goldsmiths in the Worcester areawho might make something for you. I'd guess the long narrow bays (Alton, M'boro) might be pretty fragile. Maybe a square gold charm with an image of the lake inlaid?

We have used them a few times and have been very satisfied. Not inexpensive, but they do high quality work, including custom work.

Wow, this is harder than I imagined.
Thank you all for the suggestions.
I have called 11 jewelry stores/goldsmiths etc so far and not a single one sells anything remotely similar to what I thought would be an "easy to find in the towns surrounding the lake" item.
I am not giving up on finding someone who sells one but it's looking bleak and more like a custom piece might have to be made. The problem with that is the cost would be more than double what a typical gold charm would cost (that in itself is already rediculous) and it definitely wouldn't be done for Christmas. I'm thinking that I should have a dozen made and sell them myself but evidently there is not much of a demand for them! Hard to believe...

http://mjharrington.com/Really cool idea, but the Winni one is really lacking detail. I'd buy one if it were more identifiable.

You all sucked me in as well ........ looked at the loon /gold/ruby eye ......and had to catch my breathe $$.

Not that she's not worth it mind ya - but EVERY other piece of jewelry that I have bought to surprise her with .......... after one or two wearing's has mysteriously been exiled to the jewelry box :eek:

My impression is that it doesn't truly represent Lake Winnipesaukee. Fot the $$$ I expect better configuration.

When buying for my wife I don't care what the cost amounts to. She has put up a lot with me through the years.

I suggest you contact Holly Daniels Christensen at dune JEWELRY. She is magnificent and has designs and can maybe make you a custom piece. Last year I gave my wife an daughters jewelry from her collection with sand from the beach they all grew up on. A big hit! holly@dune jewelry.com. She also has sand banks from around the world including Lake Winnipesaukee. I have no skin in the game. Good luck. visit dunejewelry.com

Have you tried Michaela @ NH Lakes Effect on Main Street in Meredith 937 4294 she sells lots of items like that and also if she doesn’t she can find anything. She is amazing. She has necklaces and bracelets with winni and other lakes.

Good Luck!

Michaela at Lake Effect was my first call! She had no luck right away however said she would keep trying. At this point I think I might have to put this idea on my Valentines Day wish list as it appears I'm probably not going to have it for Christmas...

My wife already has a silver flip-flop charm necklace from Dune with Lake Winni sand in it. Maybe I'll call Holly and see if she can help.

Thanks for any and all suggestions!
