Custom Stamped Jewelry
Personalize a ring, pendant, or bracelet with words stamped into copper or sterling silver.  There are endless options for this, including having names go all the way around a bangle bracelet or ring (pictured at right), or a more casual look with a tag necklace or bracelet.

Custom Tag Styles
The chart above is there to give you an idea of options and pricing, but is not an exhaustive list.  If you are interested in something that isn't listed or pictured, just email me to see about feasibility and cost.
 

Font Size & Border Options
You have your choice of font size: small, medium, and large capital letters.  The copper samples pictured to the right are, from top to bottom:
Small font, "leaf 3" border 
Medium font, "spiral" border  
Large font, hammered border

The background design stamp options are pictured to the left (click for enlargement).  I also have a heart that's not pictured.  A border design adds $4, a hammered edge adds $2, or just leave it smooth. 

The text can go across the center of the tag, or along the edge like the brass oval pictured above.
 

Custom Texture Sheets
If you are interested in a logo, custom font, or unusual characters (Greek, Chinese, etc.) I can convert your black & white image into a three-dimensional surface.  The texture sheet is then applied to silver clay to create a tag with your custom image imprinted in it.  The texture sheet costs $10 but can be used to make multiple tags and comes in handy for family crests, large monograms, or other designs unavailable in traditional metal stamps.

Chains and Cords
Prices listed include a sterling silver lobster claw, which is the default clasp.  You can upgrade to a spiral hook clasp for $4 and a toggle for $7. 

Please note that not all chains/cords are available in every length.  An extender chain can be added for $1 per inch.
