Domestic Violence Awareness – Jewelry with a Message
Posted by: | CommentsFinding the perfect gift is like having coffee already perked when you wake up! But even more importantly when that gift has such a deep meaning that it touches someone’s soul. This piece of custom beaded jewelry was a special order from an employee to her boss, who was retiring from a domestic violence shelter for women. Here’s what the daughter wrote to Designs by Dawn Marie:
Custom Order - Domestic Violence Awareness Jewelry
“I wasn’t sure if my mom found ya and emailed you but in the event she hasn’t I wanted to let you know her boss LOVED the necklace. She was amazed by the work and how beautiful it was. So thank you so much for being the one to make her smile. My mom couldn’t stop telling me how beautiful it was as well. She said “I seen the picture but its so much prettier in person.” Again thank you. Hope you have a fabulous weekend.” ~D.K. Janesville, WI
Awareness jewelry makes a great gift for someone so passionate about their cause. Whether it is Breast Cancer Awareness, Domestic Violence Awareness, AIDS Awareness or Autism Awareness, creating something one of a kind is a gift they will treasure and wear with pride.

Dawn received the beads sight unseen and chose colors within the beads to create a beautiful custom beaded bracelet.

“Love, love, love the bracelet. Love the energy and the time you took to create what sizzzl represented to you. It so resonates with me, my message, & sizzzl. Will take photos and post in the next couple of days. ♥” ~Suzy Manning, Sizzzl
About the Bracelet:
Suzy asked Designs by Dawn Marie to create a handmade beaded bracelet that would be representative of the Sizzzl Woman. In designing the bracelet, Dawn Marie wanted to make sure that she understood exactly what Sizzzl represented.
She created a one of a kind design that Suzy agreed, represents the true Sizzzl woman. This bracelet is crocheted with a fine gauge chocolate wire. Bringing in the browns and earth-tones, it brings out the organic grounded side of the Sizzzl woman. It will keep her rooted in her actions, thoughts and daily life. Again bringing in an earthy nature element Dawn used accent beads made of wood. The heart on top represents the inner glow inherent in women. It’s beautiful, fragile, and it’s the pulse of the family. As women we balance so much, so this is a reminder that through anything, let your beautiful inner glow show through!
Upon receiving her package, the bracelet resonated with Suzy. She left Dawn a message thrilled with the design. The unique technique Dawn used to create the bracelet gave it the appearance of being woven, demonstrating how all our lives are woven together. Suzy’s Sizzzl Bracelet will be available through her website on a custom order basis. Each piece will be one-of-a-kind and created by Designs by Dawn Marie.
“Suzy, I’m so thrilled my vision of the Sizzzl Woman resonated with you. Each piece of handmade beaded jewelry I create is special, and truly from the heart. To spread the love of all things empowering and beautiful with your Sizzzl ladies is a true honor.” ~Dawn Doucette, Designs by Dawn Marie

I…..well…..I am just stunned. Totally stunned! and humbled, Dawn, you outdid yourself!!! I can for sure see you getting requests for another like this.
Okay, I need tissues……I must go compose myself……and then take up vigil by the mailbox 
The above was after just seeing the photo online. After I mailed the package, I received the following in an e-mail…
Speaking of ripping packages open in the car, I got your necklace this morning when I checked the mail coming home from night shift…YAY, my necklace arrived!!!!!!!
Your packaging is great! What sweet, personal touches you have, your customers probably feel like princesses when they receive items from you. (I know I did!)
I just woke up from sleeping and me and hubby are going to run out and get some supper, and I can’t wait to wear my necklace!!!! It is so awesome, you make color selection and design look as easy as breathing!
It will be nice to get out and show off your piece!

Custom Lampwork Glass Wire Wrapped Pendant
Just received the necklace & earrings. I just knew the picture didn’t tell the whole story (as always) beyond Stunning when you see it in person. Another Fabulous piece that takes my breath away! You mentioned the beads were handcrafted by JulsBeads..absolutely Amazing! Love the unexpected gift! Looking forward to next… year & more custom pieces! {{{Hugs}}}}
The funny part about this is, the woman that purchased the set was going to give it to her daughter as a Christmas gift. After carefully unwrapping one end to get a peek, she’s now torn between keeping it and finding her daughter something else or going through with her original plan. I’m so glad you like it K. I hope your Christmas is filled with blessings!
