Gold Lake Winni charm?
I would like to find a Lake Winni gold charm for my wife's charm bracelet. Online search turned up nothing. Any ideas where I can order one?
Thanks in advance!

Not gold but pewter.
They might be able to help you find a gold charm. https://www.amazon.com/Hampshire-Pew...+winnipesaukee I am a retired workaholic and continuing aquaholic. |

Looks like here are some goldsmiths in the Worcester areawho might make something for you. I'd guess the long narrow bays (Alton, M'boro) might be pretty fragile. Maybe a square gold charm with an image of the lake inlaid?

Harder than I imagined!
Wow, this is harder than I imagined.
Thank you all for the suggestions. I have called 11 jewelry stores/goldsmiths etc so far and not a single one sells anything remotely similar to what I thought would be an "easy to find in the towns surrounding the lake" item. I am not giving up on finding someone who sells one but it's looking bleak and more like a custom piece might have to be made. The problem with that is the cost would be more than double what a typical gold charm would cost (that in itself is already rediculous) and it definitely wouldn't be done for Christmas. I'm thinking that I should have a dozen made and sell them myself but evidently there is not much of a demand for them! Hard to believe...

You all sucked me in as well ........ looked at the loon /gold/ruby eye ......and had to catch my breathe $$.
Not that she's not worth it mind ya - but EVERY other piece of jewelry that I have bought to surprise her with .......... after one or two wearing's has mysteriously been exiled to the jewelry box .

My impression is that it doesn't truly represent Lake Winnipesaukee. Fot the $$$ I expect better configuration.
When buying for my wife I don't care what the cost amounts to. She has put up a lot with me through the years. I am a retired workaholic and continuing aquaholic. |

Winni Charm
I suggest you contact Holly Daniels Christensen at dune JEWELRY. She is magnificent and has designs and can maybe make you a custom piece. Last year I gave my wife an daughters jewelry from her collection with sand from the beach they all grew up on. A big hit! holly@dune jewelry.com. She also has sand banks from around the world including Lake Winnipesaukee. I have no skin in the game. Good luck. visit dunejewelry.com
