The Inspiration
MaryLou believes in the power and importance of timeless jewelry. Each piece is an eventual family heirloom that will maintain its style and quality through the test of time. We believe in harnessing the power of your creative spirit when crafting the perfect piece of jewelry, which is why we offer custom orders. Our eye for jewelry design can bring any personal sentiment to fruition through our custom gold pieces. It is important to us that each client adds their personal touch to the pieces they buy. This is what originally inspired us to work with a close friend turned client in creating this Lucky Number Hand Chain. 
The Process
Our client approached MaryLou with the desire to turn their childhood sports jersey number into a necklace and pendant. “11” was their first ever jersey number and has been their lucky number ever since. Lucky numbers are lucky because they attract a certain energy that works in your favor.  Having a physical representation of that through a piece of jewelry is an amazing and effective way to harness that energy and surround yourself with good vibes. Though our client originally requested a necklace and pendant, our staff’s creative vision elevated this piece into an elegant hand chain that was custom fitted for the client’s hand and arm. At MaryLou, you are able to combine personal sentiment with a timeless and classic aesthetic that is sure to hold its value for generations. Below is a note from our client on the process and inspiration behind her custom order:
“Thank you so much for designing my first custom piece of jewelry. This was an exciting process for me considering my original vision was to have a simple chain with the number and it turned into a very unique hand chain. This is an important piece for me because the number 11 was my first jersey number and I’ve considered it a lucky number ever since. Now I get to wear a special piece inspired by your creativity. I just want to acknowledge that you have a remarkable eye for detail and made this process so enjoyable. You were always sending me my options from chain sizes to the numbers itself and I truly appreciate it. You also made sure they added a little extra chain at the ring loop so it wasn’t too tight which made the fit perfect. I’m so glad I took your suggestion and went from the necklace to this beautiful piece. I can’t wait to work with you on my next order.”
While our competitors expect you to find yourself in their pre-selected styles and pieces, at MaryLou you can bring your own style and vision to our quality jewelry designers and walk away with a piece that has a personal touch. All of our pieces, custom or otherwise, have a personal touch that tells a story that bridges the past and the future; browse our catalog to be a part of that future or order a custom piece to create your own.
