How it's made

Here's a peek behind the scenes...I figure I'll share a picture of my computer desk looking clean, which should truly be one of the 7 Wonders.

In addition to soldering brass and setting crystals, did you know that the personalized pieces are not engraved?  That's right.  I do not own an engraver.  I use a metal stamp, steel stamping block and a hammer.  I own a few dozen different steel font stamps and the letters, numbers, symbols, etc. are lined up and then I let the hammer drop.  Hammering makes each piece truly unique and one-of-a-kind, even if it's 'the same', there will always be things that are slightly different due to how it's made. 

I make your jewelry, but I also make some of the packaging too.  I use recycled kraft paper jewelry gift boxes which are made in the USA.  I make my box labels using my Silhouette Cameo and each label is put on your box by me...or my sister if I can rope her in...

Here is an example of how your jewelry looks once it's on its jewelry card.  I like to switch up my jewelry cards as I run low because when you're packaging as often as I am, you get bored looking at the exact same thing all the time.

I hope that answered some of your questions and gave you a little insight into the pieces that I make.  As I snap more pictures, I'll come back and update it here.  You can always follow me on my social media accounts for more behind the scenes pictures.
