My friend Carol wondered if I could make volleyball number charms for her college-age volleyball-star daughter and her two best friends. Something fairly simple…but maybe a little different than the charms we’re seeing everywhere lately. Nothing babyish, as this was to be presented at college graduation. Carol and I got together and played around with ideas. First I tried just a simple sterling disc with a number on it. Way too boring. We doodled and played some more, and we came up with this! 
Copper and sterling charm – stamped, soldered, and oxidized – hung on sterling ball chain. A tiny round sterling charm hangs alongside, stamped with the teammates' numbers, one on each side.Carol loved the charms. I told her not to get TOO excited. Her daughter might not share our enthusiasm! But last I heard, the necklaces were a hit. Whew.
