    		                &lt;img src=&quot;http://ny-image2.etsy.com/il_155x125.104958602.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    		      			$64.00&lt;br /&gt;					This versatile, gorgeous name necklace is one of our bestsellers! We offer this necklace in 12 of our fonts:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* Concise Upper/Lower (looks like Times New Roman),&lt;br /&gt;* Exclusive Script (last photo) and &lt;br /&gt;* Classic All Caps (first photos)&lt;br /&gt;* Tiny Elegant Caps &lt;br /&gt;* Tiny Script (Upper/Lower)&lt;br /&gt;* Curly Girly (Upper/Lower)&lt;br /&gt;* Ashberry (Upper/Lower)&lt;br /&gt;* Gothic (Upper/Lower)&lt;br /&gt;* Kismet (Upper/Lower)&lt;br /&gt;* Typewriter (Upper/Lower)&lt;br /&gt;* Renaissance (Upper/Lower)&lt;br /&gt;* Micro Playful Caps&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We can usually fit about 25-35 characters - including spaces - depending on the font chosen. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This particular version is to accommodate your children&amp;#39;s birthstones (or any representative stone colors) in genuine Swarovski crystals as part of the hand-made sterling silver chain.  Please let us know your child(ren)&amp;#39;s date(s) of birth, or your preferred color(s) at checkout in the comments.  This price is for up to 4 birthstones (same on each side, as shown). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Necklace length should be indicated at checkout. If none is indicated, a 16&amp;quot; necklace with a 2&amp;quot; extender will be sent.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our necklaces are hand-hewn in our studio from milled silver chain. We never use jump rings in our basic construction - every necklace or bracelet has a hand-looped secure closure with accent beads...it won&amp;#39;t just fall apart. Our hand-sawn, pierced, filed, stamped, and/or oxidized pieces have been forged with proven, classic techniques that may take a little more time, but show the heirloom quality of our work. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The &amp;quot;circle&amp;quot; pendant is a 1mm thick cast-silver, and not thin cut sterling sheet. We think you will be pleased with the weight and quality.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;♥ This item is hand-stamped, and the letters will not be perfectly straight - it&amp;#39;s part of the charm of this artisan item :) Additionally, stamping is a much deeper impression, and also blackened, to be much more visible than engraving. We have other hand-stamped items available in our store, if you would like to see more examples. &lt;br /&gt;_______________________________________________________________________&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;♥ All orders are packaged in our custom and professional Birth Designs cocoa-and-turquoise boxes. They include an information card about Birth Designs. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;♥ We are happy to include matching gift cards at no extra charge if requested.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;♥ Most retail items ship within about 3 weeks from order date. Every single piece is sawn, hammered, pierced, filed, oxidized, buffed, and finished by hand - right here. We take great pride in our work, and even though our processes might be a bit slower, they are time-honored with classic proven quality. If you want the best hand-hewn look, you have come to the right place. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;♥ *all domestic orders* ship USPS Priority Mail unless requested otherwise. *all international orders* ship regular uninsured airmail unless requested otherwise.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;♥ PLEASE VIEW OUR POLICY PAGE FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT FORGING TIMES, SHIPPING, AND STORE POLICIES.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This necklace is a copyrighted Birth Designs original.       </description>

This piece can be made with your child&amp;#39;s *actual* handprint or footprint (the kind they take in ink at the hospital or you can do at home) or I can use a representative print.  I will take the image, shrink it down, and etch it deeply into copper.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;***A Wonderful &amp; Special Gift Item!***&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your choice of words and symbols on the opposite side (you can get an idea of fonts and what would fit from the photos) in solid sterling silver.  We have a Classic All-Caps font as well as our exclusive Script font.  We also have an extensive list of symbols on our PROFILE page.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The copper and silver coins are then soldered together to make one fantastic piece.  The total size is about 1&amp;quot;.  Suspended from a sterling silver chain - your choice of length.  If no length is indicated, a 16&amp;quot; necklace with 2&amp;quot; extender will be sent.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;HOW IT WORKS:  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;♥ To order your necklace, just buy this item, then leave your with your desired font &amp; phrase in the comments. Then, I will provide you with an email address to send a file or a snail mail address to send an actual copy of your child&amp;#39;s hand/footprint.  If you have any questions at all, just convo us!  I will send you a file that shows about what it will look like on the metal. Remember, it will not show detail like ink will, but it will be an actual representation of your child&amp;#39;s hand.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;About the Reverse Side:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;♥ This item is hand-stamped, and the letters will not be perfectly straight - it&amp;#39;s part of the charm of this artisan item :) Additionally, stamping is a much deeper impression, and also blackened, to be much more visible than traditional engraving. It will last longer, and will not &amp;quot;rub off&amp;quot; like some engraving. We have other hand-stamped items available in our store, if you would like to see more examples.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;♥♥ Please see our profile for a list of custom stamps available for your creation! &lt;br /&gt;_______________________________________________________________________&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;♥ All orders are packaged in our custom and professional Birth Designs cocoa-and-turquoise boxes. They include an information card about Birth Designs. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;♥ We are happy to include matching gift cards at no extra charge if requested.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;♥ This particular item will ship about 4 WEEKS from when the hand/footprint is received. This is a very labor intensive piece. All effort will be made to ship sooner, but it may be up to four weeks before shipping.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;♥ Due to recent problems with package delivery, we now ship *all orders* USPS First Class Mail unless requested otherwise. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;♥ PLEASE VIEW OUR PROFILE PAGE FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT FORGING TIMES, SHIPPING, AND STORE POLICIES. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;♥ ♥ This pendant is a registered, copyrighted Birth Designs original.♥ ♥        </description>

On a thick, solid sterling disc, &amp;quot;I carry your heart&amp;quot; is stamped around the edge of the circle.  Then, suspended in the middle, 2 hearts - one larger, &amp;quot;carrying&amp;quot; the smaller one inside.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You may also have your custom phrase stamped on the circle, space permitting.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Goes with everything sterling...suspended from a 16&amp;quot; sterling rolo chain with 2&amp;quot; extender and lobster clasp.  If you need a custom size, just let us know when you check out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our necklaces are hand-hewn in our studio from milled silver chain.

We take great pride in our work, and even though our processes might be a bit slower, they are time-honored with classic proven quality. If you want the best hand-hewn look, you have come to the right place. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;♥ *all domestic orders* ship USPS Priority Mail unless requested otherwise. *all international orders* ship regular uninsured airmail unless requested otherwise.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;♥ PLEASE VIEW OUR POLICY PAGE FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT FORGING TIMES, SHIPPING, AND STORE POLICIES.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;♥ This necklace is a copyrighted Birth Designs original. © 2007 Birth Designs.

We offer versions with 1, 2, and 4 stars in our shop or by special order - just contact us! ***&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hand-forged and stamped super thick sterling silver stars - stamped on both sides! With a Swarovski Crystal moon in your choice of color (yellow topaz shown here). The moon is also available in light aquamarine blue, pink, golden shadow, black, silver shade, and clear crystal. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This listing is for 3 stars with your moon - but we can do more or less upon special request - just ask!  Also, you can stamp different names on each side of the star, allowing for up to 6 names on this piece :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Suspended from a sterling rolo chain with secure hand-looped closures, the sterling stars and the moon are independent from one another and move separately on a small ring. The stars are about 1/2&amp;quot; across, and the moon about 3/4&amp;quot; long.  If your children&amp;#39;s names are longer than 5 letters, they may need to be arranged more &amp;quot;artfully&amp;quot; (less straight) to accommodate the letters.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please indicate desired length of your necklace in the comments upon checkout. If no length is indicated, we will send a standard 16&amp;quot; sterling rolo chain with 2&amp;quot; extender.
