Seven Years Handstamped Custom Personalized Solid Copper 2-Piece Keychain or Pendant

Description

ABSTRACT
Looking for that perfect gift for a hard-to-buy-for person who digs science? Especially for a guy who has everything or doesn't give up any clues on what he wants? Copper is the traditional seventh anniversary gift, so this is a clever twist, while still being useful!

Let me create a custom keychain tag (or key fob for those of you in Europe) with any word, name or short phrase! The cool feature about this one is the top part that has the periodic table symbol for copper. It overlays the longer piece that has your phrase or name on it.

It could be your family's last name, a favorite band or sports team, or your child or pet's name. Or some word that you use all the time, or a private joke. The possibilities are endless!

You *could* also wear this yourself as a pendant. Let's work together to create the design.

MATERIALS AND METHODS
Handcut pieces of sturdy solid copper sheet are hand stamped with steel stamps, filed to remove sharp edges, then oxidized and polished to bring out the letters and make them easier to read from a distance. The metal is hammered for strength and will not easily bend. The finish on these tags is a lovely, warm, burnished copper.

I will also include a tiny polishing cloth if you want to keep your keychain shiny, as the copper will naturally tarnish to a lovely patina over time.

The tags pictured measure approximately 1 inch (2.54 cm) wide. The front periodic table symbol is about 1.25 inches (3.2 cm) long, and the back piece is about 1.5 inches (3.8 cm) long.

I will contact you to verify the design requested. I'll make your tag once I have received confirmation that you're happy with the layout.

NOTES
I combine shipping on keychains, so there's only a small additional charge if you order multiple items to be shipped to the same address.

If you'd like a cord to wear it on, I can make you a black leather cord necklace with a handmade copper clasp for only $6. Let me know and I'll send you an invoice for the additional cost.

If you'd like a sterling silver version for that special gift, please contact me and I'll create a custom listing just for you. (Note that the price will be slightly higher due to the increased market price of silver.)

If you're interested in a larger square or rectangle shaped tag that will fit up to 5 lines of text, please see the pet tag listings. I can make these as keyrings, pendants or backpack tags as well - they don't have to be just for pets!

Each tag is made to order, so please consult my Shop Policies to see what the current shipping time is:
