Custom Hand Stamped Jewelry with Birthstones ~ New Designs!

I have briefly introduced before my new line of custom hand stamped jewelry. I am slowly expanding on it. I have added a few new designs. You can tell the new ones because they are in copper! I usually practice on copper because the sterling sheet is so expensive. I must say that last night when I made these, I was in the stamping zone! I am finally getting the hang of this!


These are 2 1/2" discs in sterling silver with gemstone birthstones. These little discs will only hold 4 characters each.

This design in sterling silver, with 2 1/2 inch discs and gemstones on a 16" or 18" chain is $ 25.00. Additional discs with gemstones can be added for $ 8 a piece.



This pendant is made of two discs stacked together. The smaller disc is 6/8" and the larger 1". I also stamped dots along the edges, it added balance in this particular piece with the top name being longer than the bottom. These could be done either way, with the dots or without. Your choice. I would also add the gemstone birthstones to dangle in the center.

This design in sterling silver, with 2 names and 2 gemstones on a 16" or 18" sterling silver chain that closes with a lobster clasp is $ 35.



This is a 1" disc with 2 longer names stamped on it, and a heart at the bottom. I would add the birthstone gemstones to this as well.



This is a 1" disc with 4 names stamped on it. I made this one for my sister as a family necklace. It has the names of her family and their birthstones on it. This is another example of what I can do on the 1" disc.

Either of these designs in sterling silver, with up to 23 characters and up to 4 gemstones on a 16" or 18" sterling silver chain that closes with a lobster clasp is $ 30.



This disc is 7/8", and works well with longer names. Shown is the disc with lettering. I think with all the extra space this would look really great in silver with a gemstone birthstone and a little sterling silver charm that would dangle in the middle of the disc above the name. Maybe a heart charm? Really cute!

This design in sterling silver, with 1 name and 1 gemstone on a 16" or 18" sterling silver chain that closes with a lobster clasp is $ 25. I can add a sterling charm, which I would have to quote you a price on. I am not currently stocking sterling charms, and will have to order the charm. If you have a certain charm in mind though, I will do the leg work in tracking one down and quote you a price.

I had this idea about a month ago that I would like to make at least one piece of jewelry featuring the birthstone of each month. The first pair of earrings I made for August was listed on Etsy on August 1st. They sold out in 3 hours! I was so pleased, but it left me wishing I had made more than one piece featuring Peridot.

Peridot is one of those gemstones that just shouts Summertime! These particular earrings were made with faceted rondelles. These are some of the prettiest gems I have seen in a long time. Just gorgeous!

They are typical of what I have been designing lately. Wire wrapped with sterling silver wire onto elongated tear drop shapes, on hand made ear wires. As I got further into the creative process, the silhouette of these earrings reminded me for some reason of Charlotte York. For those of you who are not Sex and the City fans, Charlotte is the prim and proper one. She is also my personal favorite. The reason these remind me of Charlotte, is because I have a vision in my head of a dress that she wore once. The dress was form fitting around her hips and ended in a little flair at the bottom. Just like these earrings.

Amala Earrings

Amala Earrings on Etsy

These lovely earrings were the result of many hours of wrapping fine wire and Peridot beads. I had originally wanted to make a pair of earrings featuring Peridot since it is the birthstone for August.

I posted these to Etsy on Friday the 31st. They sold out within 3 hours! So much for having something for August! :)

I have been drawn lately to the tear drop shape as well as wire wrapping. As I began designing these, they began to take on an exotic feel, and reminded me of India. So, the Amala earrings were born. Amala means clean and pure in Hindi. A beautiful name for a beautiful pair of earrings.

I am tempted to make another pair. What do you think?

Also, notice my latest photo prop. A gorgeous starfish I purchased while on vacation at Orange Beach, AL. I am already getting the sense that summer is drawing to a close and Fall is just around the corner. I am hoping to use the starfish for a little bit longer!
