Pewter – a great option for hand stamped jewelry

Pewter is a cool metal.  It’s durable, pretty and easy to work with.  It looks really pretty when hand stamped, too, as the rich silver color of the metal mixes so nicely with the blackened letters or symbols.  We’ve recently been creating items made with pewter and plan to add a few of these to our site.  On top of how great it looks and how easy it is to work with, it’s also less expensive than other metals like sterling silver or fine silver.

Pewter has been used for centuries for jewelry and other decorative items. In the last few years, as the price of silver skyrocketed, the popularity of pewter surged as a more affordable alternative to silver for jewelry. Modern pewter is, of course, lead-free and sustainable.

Pewter is a white, lustrous alloy, with a look similar to silver, and it’s easy to work with.  We look forward to offering some of these pieces to our Heart On Your Wrist customers!

If you have any ideas of mommy jewelry or inspirational necklaces you’d like to see in pewter, please let us know.

What to buy for an athletic friend?

H and  stamped  and  etched runners necklace
This is the runner’s necklace I settled on for my friend – she loved it!

A friend of mine recently had a birthday, and she is one of those people who kind of has everything.  So I was perplexed as to what to get her for her big day.  She loves to run, though, so I thought about a nice piece of jewelry (of course!) and decided it was a good time to exp and our line of athletic jewelry.  As I thought about something specific for my friend, I realized how many other sports there are that people are really passionate about.

H and  stamped ski necklace
This can say love to ski, swim, bike, run, dive, golf…many options.

When you spend a lot of time developing your skill and endurance in a specific sport, it’s nice to let others know about your passion and your commitment to your sport.

I love seeing a nice, feminine piece of jewelry on a really fit and strong woman, too.  Muscles and jewelry go well together.  : )

New Hand Stamped Fused Heart and Copper Necklace

Copper has an earthy warmth like no other metal. It can be beautiful simply shiny, but also lovely with a rustic finish. For this necklace, I wanted a more organic look. It has a large copper rectangle, carefully hammered to provide a subtle textured surface, with a sterling heart hand soldered on it. We h and stamp it with our new Love Spell font, and finally, we give it a graceful matte finish.

And, to introduce this new necklace, we’re having a big sale on it — take 20% off, no coupon code required. But hurry, the sale ends Tuesday, February 19!

Introducing our Custom Personalized Love Note Charms!

H and writing Jewelry Love Note Charm

I have to say these are my favorite personalized charms we have at the moment.  Our h and writing charms have been a huge hit with our customers, and now we are putting more than signatures on charms.  My daughter wrote me this note one day and I just loved it so much, I thought about putting it on a charm and wearing it.  We have these thick, somewhat small charms that look like little pieces of paper so I thought of those immediately.  Sure enough, I was able to shrink down her note and etch it right onto this little sheet.  I drilled a hole at the top and hung it on a chain and wow!  So cute!

The sheets are great on their own, but will look great with a few as well.  I’m going to add notes from both my boys too, can’t wait to do that!  These would be great from a hubby too or a potential hubby!  They are subtle but very sweet and a substantial, meaningful piece of jewelry.  A wonderful gift idea for any mom, gr and ma, friend, girlfriend, you get the idea!  A dad could wear this too as it is small but thick.
