While I haven’t bought this exact item from CaitlynMinimalist, I have purchased two necklaces from this shop. One was a heart from a Taylor Swift autograph that I ordered for myself. The other is a necklace I bought my mom for Hanukkah. I sent a picture of my late grandmother’s handwriting of my mom’s first name to Kate, the shop owner, and I was speechless at how beautiful it came out. Whether you’re ordering a ring, a bracelet, a necklace, or something else, I cannot recommend this amazing shop enough.
