Top questions I get asked-part 2

September 26, 2012

Question 2: I see most of your jewelry is sterling silver, do you have other metal options available?

Answer: Yes! It’s a bit of a complicated answer but I will break it down.

I have  the option of copper, bronze, and 14K gold.

Copper:

I am able to make pendants out of copper but I only have bronze and silver jump rings and only silver chains available. Copper is also the softest metal that I work with and may not be durable enough for some shapes. Copper also tarnishes very quickly which is fine if you like the tarnished look or don’t mind cleaning your jewelry all the time.

Bronze:

I have both bronze metal to make the pendants out of and also bronze jump rings. Again I only have silver chains but I can sell just the pendants  (see tomorrow’s question for more info). Bronze is pretty durable but it also tarnishes very easily.

14K gold:

Currently I sell tiny state/country 14K gold charms with 14K gold jump rings. If you are interested in a 14K gold regular sized pendant please contact me about pricing.

Question 1: Can the heart be custom placed?

Answer: Yes it can be! I offer custom heart placement on both the regular sized pendants and the tiny sized ones. On the regular sized pendants the heart can be placed pretty precisely on most shapes (there are certain areas that may compromise the pendant but if you’re ever concerned just send me a message). Hearts can also be placed on most tiny sized pendants (there are some exceptions such as the tiny Haiti necklace) but the placement is usually more general due to the tiny size.

I’ll just add a bit about how the hearts get cut out on the pendants. Each heart starts out as a tiny drill hole that I tread a tiny saw blade through. I then hand cut each heart freehand. I don’t use a stencil or a punch of any kind. I carefully saw each one until I think it’s just right for the piece. This allows each necklace to be unique and special for the person that is going to wear it.

iphone updates-working

August 15, 2012

As I mentioned in my last post I have been traveling around and taking my work on the go. That means sometimes I forget things, things like my camera chord. Then I realized I could upload iphone photos (which I’ve yet to do). Hello?! This way my posts don’t have to be photo less. Yeah! I’ll be sharing just a few photos of my life lately but I would like to share a bit more once I do get that camera chord…

Anyhow between all of my summer adventures I’ve been working hard. It makes it easier when I have a large mug of ice tea with maple syrup in it. mmm. My dad has a few large things of maple syrup in the fridge and I’ve been putting it in everything. It’s the best. What’s your favorite summer drink?
