Loretta Fontaine | Custom Necklace Giveaway

Today, I want to introduce you to my friend Loretta Fontaine. She is the brains and beauty behind EcoHappy Style. Loretta is a Renaissance woman of the highest order and makes her life as an architect, artist, photographer, silversmith, author, blogger and green design advocate. Seriously, she's my go-green-guru.




This has been a big year for Loretta. She launched EcoHappy Style, wrote a book, founded the Native Tree Project, and recently opened an online shop to sell her gorgeous hand-crafted jewelry. And to celebrate, she is giving away a custom necklace to one lucky La Maison Boheme reader! But before we get to that, take a look at Loretta's stunning creations.






And here is Loretta working in her studio...




The Necklace Giveaway

Loretta is will be making a custom sterling silver photo necklace for one La Maison Boheme reader. Your cropped and adjusted photograph will be printed at a Pro Lab and set in the bezel of the necklace. The photograph will be sealed and protected with a durable layer of clear resin. The jewelry is cast in sterling silver and given a matte finish with an eco-friendly process. Liver of sulfur is used to antique and oxidize the sterling silver, and the high areas of the design were burnished to a brilliant shine. The necklace is finished with a white freshwater pearl. The necklace is on a 16″- 18″ sterling silver cable chain, (there is a 2″ extender finished with a tiny freshwater pearl to extend the chain to 18″). The diameter of the square silver shape is 1/2″ x 1/2″.

Here is a photo of the necklace below.
Loretta made this one for me using a photo of my children.
Isn't it dreamy?

I've been meaning to follow La Maison Boheme for a very long time,I read your site all the time, just never got around to "following" so this is a good push to make me do it. Loretta's jewelry is gorgeous! It is hard for me to pick a favorite. The Maria Ring with Crimson Rose is stunning. So are the Simple Freshwater Pearl Earrings. The Custom Maria Necklace with Photograph would be a perfect birthday present for my grandmother. Everything is beautiful!

So happy to see this on your blog. I love your necklace Sarah, so it's nice to see her blog and have a chance to win one. I liked her on FB, and will share as soon as I finish my comment. I'm also a follower of your beautiful blog already.

Loretta is just as nice as she is talented. I admire her patience to work on so many things while raising her family and seemingly keep it all humming.

What a fun giveaway! Subscribed!
I really like the custom photo necklace. But I also really like the necklace with the rose links - although I admit that before I read the title, I thought it was a bracelet and I thought it was very lovely as a bracelet.
