Guest reviewer Robyn D. lives in Bowmanville, Ont., with her three kids (who are 3, 6 and 8) and is a school-bus driver who loves to spend time with her family going to the park or zoo, on trips or even just a quiet night cuddling with her brood on the couch watching a movie.
Robyn had the opportunity to review a sterling silver necklace from KidzCanDesign, which turns your kids’ artwork into keepsake jewelry. You may recall that I reviewed something similar from Tina Roeder; I still cherish that piece and I encourage anyone with young children to preserve these fleeting moments by enlisting the help from companies like these.
*************************************************************
THE GOOD
When we received our KidzCanDesign creation, we were impressed by how the company had managed to transform our oldest daughter’s art into a piece of wearable sterling silver jewelry. When she saw the picture she drew of “mommy and daddy” made into a necklace pendant, her jaw hit the ground. She was in complete disbelief and asked, “How did you do that?” She was a little disappointed when we told her I was going to wear it the first day to show my co-workers, and eagerly awaited the next day when she could show her friends in grade one.
My colleagues loved it and thought it was such a great idea. Everybody wanted to know how to get one and how much it was, so I directed them to the KidzCanDesign website. They all thought it was an incredible way to transform a cherished piece of your child’s art.
When our six year old finally got to put it on the next day for school, she was ecstatic. Her friends all loved it and she told us they all wanted one with their own artwork on it.
After wearing it on and off for several weeks, the pendant hasn’t tarnished at all. It’s definitely high quality.
This is definitely something we will do with more artwork down the road!
THE GAFFE
There weren’t any major gaffes with this product. I would suggest that care instructions be included, though. I did inquire about the metal just to be sure how to care for it; time will tell how quickly it tarnishes and how often it needs to be cleaned. But since it’s .925 sterling silver, it should be easily cleaned with silver polish.
THE GEARS
4.5/5
So…where can you buy it?

I love this idea — a way to cherish a special picture. My 7 year old daughter made the most adorable picture of her family with her new baby brother that I would love to use.

I love this idea.. it’s a nice way to show kids just how much their art means to you, and instill a sense of pride in them… plus, it creates an heirloom that you’ll cherish forever.

Super cute idea. My little one isn’t drawing yet (unless I put a pencil/paintbrush/marker in her hand and “force” her to draw me something. lol

What a great idea! My son spends hours drawing pictures of his family and of course, superheroes. He would also freak out if I got this necklace with his artwork. He might even give it to me for Mother’s Day. He just doesn’t know it yet 😉
