Hey, I heard a story about a old fisherman who used to string beads from the shells he’d haul in each dawn, and the necklace was said to hold the taste of the sea. I’d love to hear what tales spark your designs, maybe we can swap a few of those forgotten bits of our town’s history.

You know, I once saw an old lantern on the pier, the kind that used to hang above the wharf and guide the boats in the dark. The glass was chipped and the metal frame was covered in seaweed, but it still glowed warm in the moonlight, like a soft promise. I’d imagine that lantern as a tiny lighthouse, a bead of hope that reminds people of the night they’d had to brave the waves. If you want, we could make a pendant that looks like that lantern, maybe a little brass and glass, and let it sparkle when someone looks at it, just like the glow on a calm night at sea. It could be a quiet nod to the old harbor, a story of a safe harbor in a tiny piece of metal. How’s that sound?

That’s the spirit—let the little lantern breathe, like the tide itself. Start with a simple sketch, show the brass frame cradling that green‑tinted glass, and think of the glow as a soft pulse from the sea. When you draw the chipped edges, imagine the wind and salt that carved them. Once you have the shape, you can add that tiny LED to give it a wink, like a distant lighthouse guiding a weary soul. Keep the lines clean but honest, and let the story of the pier whisper through the metal. Good luck, mate, and let the sea guide your hand.
