MeritMade Stories - Alison

May 17, 2017

I asked one of my all time favorite clients, Alison, 5 questions about her MeritMade experience.  Read below her responses.

What is your MeritMade story?

I didn't have any custom pieces made, but love to buy the one-of- a-kind pieces Kelly has been making. In the future, I'd love to order something custom!

Why did you choose to work with MeritMade?

I love to support crafts and tradespeople in their art, and after meeting Kelly, I wanted to support her endeavor. When I got my first piece, I was hooked! I consider each piece of MeritMade jewelry to be a wearable work of art.

How does working with MeritMade compare to buying jewelry in the past?

Compared to other jewelry I've bought in the past, I love that the MeritMade pieces are so simply, yet elegantly crafted and versatile. They can easily be incorporated into daily wear, or worn as an accent to a dressier outfit and are what I'd consider to be timeless, to be shared with friends or passed down through family.

If you could get another piece of MeritMade jewelry for free, what would you want?

Maybe a really simple, lightweight ring. I don't usually wear jewelry on my hands, but I'd like to!

What is the best movie quote ever, and what movie is it from?

"I carried a watermelon" from Dirty Dancing.

Anything else you would like to add?

MeritMade is the bees knees!
