Angel Foot Necklace


 

In 2007, a friend of mine who was expecting a baby, emailed me pictures of her son’s ultrasound.  Among the pictures was the ultrasound of a perfect little foot.  As I stared at that picture, a thought started to grow.  I printed out the picture, and gathered up the pictures of my sons’ ultrasounds and started to sketch. 

After collecting some basic sketches together, I used polymer clay, and created the first Angel Foot Charm.  I played with varying sizes, until I came up with one that seemed right.  Each foot is approximately 18 mm long, the approximate length of the foot of a baby that is 15 weeks along in a pregnancy.  From there, I made a mold of the polymer clay charm, and used that to create the first fine silver clay foot. 

Each foot is made by hand.  It takes approximately three days to complete all the steps required to make the charm.  Each charm consists of three basic components:  the fine silver foot, a sterling silver head pin and a Swarovski crystal to represent the birthstone of your little angel.

Each necklace chain, pin, or bracelet chain is made from sterling silver, to help keep the prices a little more reasonable.  The chains for the bracelets are made by my husband, Tim Landow, who is starting a line of chain mail jewelry.  He hand makes each link out of sterling silver wire, and then creates each chain out of those links.
