I've had the same jeweler for 20 years, so I honestly don't know what made me walk into Everglow…read moreand trust them with something so incredibly personal and sentimental--but I am so glad I did.
I walked in, browsed around, and met the owner, Derrick. I came back on a different day and gave him my mother's diamond necklace, along with a couple of other pieces that meant so much to me, and showed him a photo of a pendant I had fallen in love with. The original was nearly $60,000, which I was obviously not going to spend, but I asked Derrick if he could create something inspired by it- using my own sentimental jewelry.
What he created exceeded anything I could have imagined. I didn't even think to give him exact measurements for the pendant, and afterward I was so nervous that I had forgotten--but somehow, he got the proportions perfectly!
The finished piece is spectacular. More importantly, it incorporates my mother's diamonds and jewelry that already held so much meaning for me, which makes it priceless in an entirely different way.
If you live in Tampa--or honestly, anywhere--and have the opportunity to work with Derrick, do it. His eye, craftsmanship, and ability to understand exactly what you envision are extraordinary.
This guy is AMAZING.
