Introducing double-sided stamped jewelry

For a long time I’ve offered bracelets that can be stamped on both the inside and outside. Now I’ve added necklaces with that option as well.

The discs have to very thick to hide the impressions on the other side, but it can be done. Some designs with a lot of stamping will have some shadowing on the reverse side, but not obvious impressions like jewelry made from thinner discs.

Here are a couple of the double-sided necklaces:

There will be necklaces with smaller discs available in the first part of February as well.

Catching up on orders

Wow – the Thanksgiving Weekend Sale was a huge success! Thank you! The last of those orders went out in today’s mail.

Now the big project on my desk is finishing everyone’s Christmas orders. They have been so fun to work on. I love seeing how everyone chooses to personalize their jewelry.

I’ve also been making more than just jewelry lately. Guitar picks are a new addition to the shop. They have been selling almost as fast as I can list them.

What do you think? I’m not sure which is my favorite. I like all three metals, but the silver-filled is probably my favorite of the three picks.

Product Highlight: Sisters Forever Sterling Silver Heart Washer Necklace

Sisters Forever : Sterling Silver Heart Washer Necklace

Sisters Forever : Sterling Silver Heart Washer Necklace
$28.00

Looking for a unique necklace to celebrate your forever family? Love those eternity style washer necklaces? This necklace is a combination of both. It has a small heart-shaped washer, stamped with the words sisters forever.

The pendant: a 3/4 inch sterling silver heart-shaped washer, stamped with the words sisters forever in a casual handwritten font. The washer is attached to the chain by a large ring that allows it to spin freely.

The lettering: each letter is stamped individually by hand. The letters will not always line up perfectly, and some may be stamped deeper than other letters. This is part of the charm of hand stamped lettering.

The chain: a sterling silver ball chain. Absolutely perfect for the pendant.

Finally here: Hand Stamped Rings

This is my own personal ring – I stamped my husband’s and my names on it. I love it!

Personalized Hand Stamped Sterling Silver Ring
$36.00

Have you noticed how popular hand stamped rings have become? Sometimes called posey rings, these personalized rings can be customized however you wish.

These sterling silver rings are 6 mm wide. They are wide enough to accommodate one line of hand stamping, and are durable and comfortable. They have a high polish finish and are classy and elegant.

The ring pictured is stamped in a casual handwritten font, though the block font will fit on the rings if you prefer. About 20 letters and spaces will fit on this ring. For reference, the ring pictured is a size 10 and has 16 characters stamped on it, and the stamping covers about half of the ring. Please enter your personalization in the box below. If the personalization you’d like is long and you’re not sure it will fit on the ring, feel free to send me a message first.

Each letter is stamped individually by hand. The letters will not always line up perfectly, and some may be stamped deeper than other letters. This is part of the charm of hand stamped lettering.

The rings are available in whole sizes only at this time. Once stamped, they can stretch 1/4 to a whole size, though not all do.

Please note: these rings can take up to 2-3 weeks to complete before being shipped.
