Hand Stamped Teacher Gift in Pewter or Fine Silver

I 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

We 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!
