Matching Sister Necklaces
Carry My Heart Sister Necklaces

I am lucky to have a sister.  She has always been and always will be my best friend.  I don’t know if this is automatically true with all sisters (I’m guessing not) but most of the sisters I do know share a similar bond.  And it’s a bond that lasts a lifetime, which is more than I can ask for.

We had these two sweet little girls come into the shop that wanted to wear matching necklaces, to tell the world they were lucky too.  We decided we would create some charms that would allow two people to wear matching necklaces, but to have them just slightly different.  We played around with a few ideas but then came up with these little heart cut-outs that act as puzzle pieces when put together.  When two people wear these charms, they know that their necklaces ‘fit together’ so it’s like carrying a little piece of that person’s heart with you everywhere you go.

These were of course, perfect for the two sisters who came into the shop. They are now proudly wearing their matching necklaces while on their summer vacation!

H and  stamped sister necklacesWearing these little necklaces serve as a pretty reminder that your sister is always there for you.  They would also be nice as Mother-Daughter Necklaces, or they could both say BFF for two close friends.  There are lots of possibilities.  I just love the fine silver and how the pink pearls go with the brushed silver.  The h and stamped words look so pretty under the hearts.  Enjoy!

Necklace of the Month for June

H and  stamped heart necklace

Our necklace of the month this month features a handmade fine silver heart charm, hand stamped with the letters XOXO, hanging with a Swarovski pearl on a sterling silver chain.  I love this necklace!

We love making hearts of all shapes and sizes.  When we came up with this shape in the studio, we all loved it and couldn’t wait to stamp it.  The fine silver is so easy to work with and to stamp.  We add a brushed finish to it, to give it a matte look and the little pearl just compliments this so nicely.

This necklace is on sale too, for the rest of this month!  Enjoy!

Hand Stamped Teacher Gift in Pewter or Fine Silver

h and  stamped teacher necklaceI just created this very cute hand stamped teacher gift using the same words I came up with years ago for another necklace we carry.

I love the sweet message “Teach, Inspire, Love” because it captures what teachers are and do, but it’s not just another apple necklace (which can be cute too, don’t get me wrong!)

For this particular charm that we handmade in our studio, we thought we would try something new by creating and offering it in fine pewter. Fine pewter is a lead-free version of traditional pewter, so it is safe to use for jewelry. It also has the look and feel of fine silver but it is less expensive than sterling or fine silver.

What do you think of this charm in pewter?

I personally love working the pewter, it has great malleability and is forgiving to an artist. It looks really nice too, and keeps the handmade feel of the fine silver.

Hand Stamped Necklace of the Month for May

Hand stamped mommy jewelry for MayWe are unveiling our necklace for May a bit late this month because of Mother’s Day, but here it is!  The birthstone for May is emerald, and I love how Swarovski captures such rich colors in their stones.  These stones are tiny and we use them as accents on lots of pieces, but we also love stone clusters so we decided to make the clusters of all the birthstones.

The rectangle is our new hand molded/handmade Sculpted Rectangle charm.  These have been  popular with customers and look great with different fonts. I chose our lower case Kissme font here and chose the word ‘believe’. I love inspirational words stamped onto metal with an accent of color, especially when the word can mean different things to different people.

You need to believe in yourself, believe in your dreams, believe in other people, believe in hope and believe you are here for a reason.  The word is powerful and can be a nice reminder to have with you at all times.  Never stop believing!  Oh and this is on super sale for the next two days!
