5 out of 5 starsThe ring is just what I wanted. The black dye in the letters has not lightened due to being washed. I’m grateful that the engraving in the ring was specially modified to meet my request. I plan to buy another of these rings.

Thank you for the wonderful review, Sue! The black lettering shouldn't fade over time with the new method I use to add the dark patina

4 out of 5 starsThe delivery was on time. It is not as big and hardy as I was expecting. Not the actual size of the fingerprint. I still really like it. Thank you.

Thank you so much for your feedback! I’m sorry the keychain wasn’t everything you hoped it would be. Sometimes it’s hard to tell the sizing of the fingerprint so I always recommend letting me know the dimensions so I can make sure it’s more exact, if desired, and unless otherwise specified, I typically fit the print to the keychain in an oval cropped shape. The keychain itself is a heavy, thick metal, about 1.25 inches tall by just under an inch wide. Hopefully this information helps!

Frequently asked questions
Custom and personalized orders
Yes, I am always willing (and eager) to personalize an item for you or create something brand new! Please feel free to contact me here on Etsy or by email: shop@carmellasjewelry.com. If it's between the hours of 7AM and 10PM, I typically respond within minutes.
Also, due to the nature of the timing of creating the fingerprint and personalized items, I am unable to offer proofs before creating items unless the buyer understands there may be additional costs and or delays in shipment due to proofs being created for personalized items.
Need Something Sooner?
Let me know in a message before you order and I can see if I can get it in the mail sooner. During the holiday season, it’s a little trickier for me to get things out before their ship-by date but I will do my best!
Wholesale availability
Yes, I do offer wholesale orders, but they are priced and processed on a case by case basis so please contact me with your request either here on Etsy or by email (shop@carmellasjewelry.com).
What’s the best way to get a fingerprint?
What you’ll need:
Pencil/Scotch Tape/Blank Paper
Step 1: Using a PENCILl, draw a smudge on a white piece of paper (it will act as the “ink pad”).
Step 2: Press the finger onto the smudge of pencil (even if you don’t see any of the pencil on the finger, it’ll still show up on the TAPE)
Step 3: take a piece of clear tape and press it onto the finger (really make sure the sticky part is covering the whole area that was pressed onto the pencil)
Step 4: peel the tape off the finger and lay it sticky side down on a blank area of the white paper
Step 5: take a clear image of the fingerprint with a smartphone (bright natural light works best)
Step 6: message or email me the image: shop@carmellasjewelry.com
Discounts on Multiple Orders
If you want more than one item for fingerprint items, I usually offer a discounted price. Just reach out to me before placing your order either here on Etsy or by email (shop@carmellasjewelry.com). If you want a large order of aluminum items (more than 5), I offer a discount as well, please contact me before placing your order.
Who's your favorite author and why?
Nora Roberts. Because her protagonists are always independent women. They're strong, smart and live mostly perfect lives and her books motivate me to follow my passions.
(Okay, so this isn't exactly a frequently asked question I get here in my jewelry shop, but I figured it'd be nice to get to know each other a little better....who is your favorite author and why?)
:)
Gift wrapping and packaging
I ship all my orders in recyclable sturdy padded envelopes. Each item (regardless whether it's marked as a gift...they're still gifts if you're buying it for yourself!) comes gift-wrapped in either a muslin bag or an organza bag (colors my vary).
How to care for your aluminum ring, necklace, or bracelet
Each of these rings is designed and handcrafted by me in my studio in Aldie, Virginia. These rings are created using solid aluminum, which is lightweight but very strong and perfect for creating beautiful, adjustable, customizable, and affordable jewelry! One thing that’s great about aluminum, is that it won’t tarnish over time. It’s also not reactive to most skin types so it won’t turn your skin green.*
*If you see a darkening of your skin under the ring, it's more likely the ink I use to darken the custom engravings and is sometimes known to rub off on the skin during the first few days of wear. If this occurs to you, don’t fear, just clean out the ring with warm soapy water and a towel and you should have no further issues.
