The Perfect Colgate Keepsake: A Custom Map Necklace Holds a Lifetime of Memories

Although the holidays seem far off, it’s never too early to start brainstorming for your wish-list and we’ve found the perfect accessory for any Colgate chick! Whether it is a gift for a friend, family member or you’re treating yourself, nothing says thoughtful and unique like a customizable vintage map necklace. Special place you studied or traveled abroad? Second home by the beach? Connect two of your favorite places with the double-sided pendant created from vintage maps. For graduates who are moving away from this majestic snow globe we call home, such as myself, this would be a special way to keep Colgate close… hint hint.

The Dana Klopfer design allows you to keep dear memories close to your heart – literally and figuratively – while rocking a stylish sterling silver pendant. The gesture is a delicate way to stay connected with fond memories and will remain a timeless memento in your life. Olivia French’s necklace (pictured above) represents two places that have been of colossal influence in her life, Middlebury, where she attended college and Stockholm, where she studied abroad. Olivia says the necklace means so much to her because “along with my own special memories, I am carrying a tiny piece of history around with me everywhere I go!” You can customize your own personal necklace at LilaMae.com. Lila Mae is committed to a socially and environmentally conscious mission while honoring independent makers from the U S of A, such as Dana Klopfer.
