On my first day of Grade 9, there was a pretty girl sitting off to the side of the class. I didn’t know her, so I completely ignored her.
Little did I know that Jenny and I would become everything to each other — bridesmaids at each other’s weddings, at the bedside after babies were born, Aunties to each other’s kids, movie marathons, HP book releases, moving days, Christmases, coping with narcissists and general idiots, and endless conversations about absolutely nothing.
One time, we were in Las Vegas together. The circumstances of this trip are… irrelevant. What is relevant is that we did a lot of shopping. We wandered into a Tiffany store — my first time ever — and Jenny spotted a necklace. White gold chain, five gemstone drops in different colours. She fell in love instantly. It was gorgeous. It was also several hundred dollars.
She agonised over it and eventually decided not to buy it. And I, for YEARS afterward, agonised over trying to find her a less‑expensive dupe. I searched for birthdays, Christmases, any excuse. Nothing ever came close.
Until now. I decided to make one myself.
The chain isn’t white gold — it’s silver. The gemstones are glass — but still beautiful. And it does not cost several hundred dollars.
Presenting: Jennifer. Named this because she now goes by her full name, even though I never call her that. I am attempting to be somewhat respectful, ha ha.
Treat yourself — celebrate friendship that lasts from Grade 9 to Vegas and beyond.
Sterling silver, glass, stainless steel.
