Our New Etched Wish Necklace – Giveaway!

H and Stamped and Etched Wish Necklace

I am happy to announce our new Etched Wish Necklace.  This was the first etched charm I created, using a new etching technique that we developed here at Heart On Your Wrist.  This sweet little charm is created by taking a sterling silver oval charm and adding the h and -drawn d and elion using our etching technique.  A tiny “Wish” is also etched onto the charm.  We then patina the charm and h and -polish it so the raised parts of the charm shine and contrast with the dark background.  The result is beautiful and I’m happy to offer one to a lucky winner of this giveaway!  Good luck…please see below to enter.  The winner will be announced on Sunday.

Announcing our new etched name charms

I am so excited to be launching a new line of etched charms.  These were actually the second idea I was playing around with (the first idea will be posted soon) while playing around with some new etching techniques, that I’ve been dreaming about for a couple years now.  I have a few other designs that I’m perfecting, too, so stay tuned to see more.  For now, I wanted to show you the name charms – they are kind of retro looking, black and silver, such a neat contrast and so different!  I just love them.

H and stamped name discs etched

The names and symbols are actually raised…we take a sterling or fine silver disc and etch all around the name and symbol areas, also leaving a nice border around the names.  We then patina the whole piece and polish the raised areas so they st and out.

Etched name discs

I was really excited to see the names come out so clearly but the symbols were an extra bonus.  I just love them!  I used our Skate Font, which is new, which gives them a vintage but retro look.

Vintage Name Discs

These discs are 1/2″ around.  As I said, I have more etched designs coming so stay tuned!  Please let me know what you think of these.  They will be on the site soon, and I will link the photos to their order page as soon as they’re up.

Military jewelry for those who serve our country

H and Stamped Military Necklace

For those of you who have taken on the burden of serving our country for the rest of us – we thank you.   The commitment and sacrifice it takes from you, and that you so completely give, leaves me in awe of you and your families.  I have been thinking about designing a special piece of jewelry for all the proud military soldiers and their moms, sisters, brothers, daughters and wives out there for a while.  I’ve had a few designs in my head, knowing that I would want it to portray pride but also have a personal touch and connection to the wearer.

Once I started creating, the ideas started to flow.  The result was a whole section on our website devoted to military h and -stamped jewelry for moms, dads, wives and daughters.  I hope you like what you see, and I hope these creations help to convey your pride and love for the soldier in your life.
