When I came across Shelly's South Shore Jewelry earlier this year I was mesmerized with her work. A story came into my head, I could see a mother handing her grown daughter a small jewelry box and opening it to find a beautiful necklace. A necklace that had belong to her mother, and her grandmother, an heirloom. Shelly's South Shore Jewelry is the kind of jewelry that turns into an heirloom. Each piece has its own personality. The mermaid necklace above is by far my favorite.
