Q: Rice Engravings.. ?

yoko* · #1 (**permalink**) Jan 05, 05

anyone know where I might be able to find some place (preferrably dt/burnaby area) that still makes those rice engraved (burned) necklace/keychains? You know, where they engrave (burn?) a name or a symbol onto a small grain of rice for and then they put it inside a small glass tube of water in which it is preserved and can be turned into a necklace/keychain?

it's supposed to be a parting gift for a co-worker, but i can't seem to find any vendors.

would appreciate suggestions,

there was a place at lonsdale quay in north van that did them. I KNOW I KNOW! you're looking for downtown, but it's not really all that far with the seabus.

Closest place I can think of would be possibly Granville Island Kid's market...
