I made a choker for you and I can't find it. It's hematite, a stone that is used for blood disorders (thus hematite, of course) and kidney disorders. I have no idea where I put it!
There is a type of Sculpy or Fimo clay that can be used for images. You put the image on the clay, fire it (in the oven - no need for a kiln), scrape off the paper when it's done, and the image has transferred to the clay. I might try it in an attempt to make mourning jewelry, but I have an aversion to burning down my home and I'm not sure about sticking photos into the oven.
For the ribbon, you probably need this kind of clamp. You add a regular clasp to that and you don't need to keep untying it.
If you want to try making your own jewelry, this site has tons of instuctions.
