A Long Time Coming

3: Julie Luckenbill

As I read about Rebecca and Kate’s story, a few things stood out clearly: Their love of the outdoors near their coastal home outside of Seattle. Their active lifestyles, especially with their family. And, of course, their obvious love of art. The customer always influences design, with their needs and desires, so I wanted to incorporate their interests in the design.

First, I settled on a pendant because Kate is a busy mom, active in events with their son and a lover of hiking and the outdoors. A ring could get damaged or get in the way of those experiences, while a pendant on a sturdy chain can go almost anywhere.
