Elkhart Lake, WI jeweler Kim Jakum will have her Love Sparks Pendant worn by Elena Gilbert on the season six finale of The Vampire Diaries, which airs May 14.

Online PR News � 12-May-2015 – Jewelry designer Jakum of Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin (http://www.KimJakumDesigns.etsy.com and http://www.metalmorphis.etsy.com) will have her Love Sparks Pendant worn by Elena Gilbert (Nina Dobrev) on the season six finale of The Vampire Diaries, which airs Thursday, May 14, 2015 on the CW Television Network. The episode marks Elenas final appearance on the show.

Kim says the inspiration for her Love Sparks Pendant was the intense love between Elena Gilbert and Damon Salvatore. To express the relationship between these soul mates, she created a unique circle pendant that recalls exploding fireworks. This pendant hangs on an 18-inch sterling silver snake chain and retails for $48.00 at KimJakumDesigns.etsy.com.

This spring, Kim has had the good fortune of seeing her jewelry selected for use not only on The Vampire Diaries but also Chicago Fire, Cedar Cove and Baby Daddy, as well as in the upcoming film, Tim Timmerman Hope of America.

Paramedic Sylvie Brett (played by Kara Killmer) wore Kims Falling Leaves Silver Pendant on episode 319 of Chicago Fire, which aired April 7, 2015. As is true with most of the pieces she presents to wardrobe stylists, Kim designed the pendant with a specific character in mind.

Kim has said, The teardrop shape of this pendant and the juxtaposition of sparkling leaves against deeply oxidized recesses captures the spirit with which Sylvie Brett handles the emotional rollercoaster that is part and parcel of being a paramedic. The Falling Leaves pendant is suspended on an 18-inch sterling silver box chain and retails for $45.00 at KimJakumDesigns.etsy.com.

Actress Stephanie Drapeau (as Monica Murphy) has been filmed wearing a Kim Jakum Designs ring in the film Tim Timmerman Hope of America, scheduled for release in January 2016. Kim has also been notified her jewelry will be worn by Grace (played by Teryl Rothery) on an upcoming episode of Cedar Cove, and by Riley (played by Chelsea Kane) on an upcoming episode of Baby Daddy.
