We strive to create hand stamped jewelry that is different from any other hand stamping shops and we feel that if you look through our shop you will agree that our designs are unique and have their own look. Most of our jewelry is mixed metal using copper, nickel silver, brass and bronze. We also use some pewter, aluminum and sterling silver. We texture most of our metal as well which will make it hold up over time better as it won't show scratches as easily. Most hand stamping shops offer mostly shiny aluminum. I am not a fan of shiny aluminum. In my opinion, and most customers, it does not feel like metal, does not feel or look like a piece of quality jewelry and it scratches easily. Its going to take a pretty picture when it is first made and the lighting is right, but most of the time in person, and after wear it doesn't look like a quality piece. There are some cases where aluminum is the best option or a customer requests aluminum. On those items I add texture to it or a brushed finish. It is still going to feel the same but it looks a lot nicer and will hold up so much better. The positive aspects of aluminum is that it does not tarnish and it hypoallergenic, making it good for people with skin sensitivities and children. Pewter is a beautiful metal that doesn't tarnish but naturally ages over time. Copper, Nickel Silver, Brass and Bronze do tarnish, however, I like the look of the metal after it tarnishes. I allow mine to tarnish and polish it with a sunshine cloth after maybe 6 months or so. I do craft shows in the fall and I have polished and tarnished pieces on display, customers generally want their pieces to have the tarnished look. I can not make a piece and it be tarnished. After I blacken in the letters the piece has to be polished to remove the extra black on the metal. Your jewelry will tarnish in a few weeks time and can be polished back up or left to tarnish. That is a wonderful thing about these metals, you can have two totally different looks in the same piece of jewelry.
