Daisy Chick - Dawn says:This was not an inexpensive piece as the shells werre custom made! I had to have something wonderful for this special time in our lives. I wore a coral dress and had my hair put up, it was dress up night. I also wore it another evening with a white dress and we had our pictures taken. We bought the photos. I am sp happy you like ny design!

Faithful Chick aka Faith says:OOOOoooo, Gotta see the photos pretty please me too. I don’t know how you get photos on to the net to show, but I hope you can. Those shells are fabulous in the necklace and I bet you were stunning in the moonlight. Oh so pretty what a picture in my mind.

Daisy Chick - Dawn says:I will see what I can do ladies!They are 8×10 so I think I would have to scan them in and then try to go from there. Can anybody out there direct me so I can do this? Thank-you Shannon! I will check around to see of amyone can help me!
On Jul 20, 2010 at 6:28 pm #
Jewelry by Shannon says:Hi Dawn, if you scan them, you will then have an image that you should be able to upload just like you do your jewelry pictures. I recently had to scan something and attach it with jewelry pics. It ended up in a file on my computer and was a little tricky to find but attaching it to this site should work the same way. Hope that helps. SLS
