Technology can expedite the process, but it is hardly necessary. Renna Brown-Taher, founder and creative director of the jewelry company Renna in New York, recently received a decades-old Post-it note from a client. On it, the client’s father had written a short note accompanied by a math problem for her to solve (“Miss You 11 x 2”).
“He was mathematically inclined and this was his love language,” Ms. Brown-Taher wrote in an email. “Our client, then a little girl, penciled in ‘22’ in her own handwriting. Many years later, she still held on to the Post-it. We decided to exactly copy the writing of the Post-it, by hand, onto her pendant. Priceless memories come in many forms.”
