Help jewelry makers! My anniversary trip got canceled!

Hey all,

My wife’s and my 5th year anniversary is coming up and we had this amazing trip to Paris planned. As you might expect, it has been canceled/postponed. Most of the places and things I’d get her as a gift are also closed, not being classified as “essential”, so I’m in a bit of a pickle. I really want to do something nice for her, but I’m struggling given the current state of things. I could just order some jewelry from one of the megastores out there, but I don’t really like anything I can find online. I was wondering if there was anyone out there with their own tools at home who might be willing to help me out with a project for it instead.

I’d like to make a wooden(5th year)-heart charm necklace with some custom engraving/laser etch/ (Wedding date… hadn’t gotten to the text yet), and perhaps some sort of inlaid stone/precious metal to indicate 5 years. I can do some CAD drawings to give an idea of what I’m thinking, but don’t have anything tools print it/etch/carve it, nor do I have a chain of any kind I could put it on.

I’m of course willing to pay for all materials and your time in the event anyone can help me out.

thanks!
Paul

Have you trolled Etsy?
Lots of makers have things posted. If they are not currently shipping anything, their stores generally have a notice to that effect.
