5 out of 5 starsI have never been so excited to give a gift to someone as I was with the dog tag style necklace Bonnie made for my son. He’s worked very hard academically this year and as an 8th grader, completed middle school wrestling with a perfect record. He was asked to wrestle for the high school team and has done phenomenal. He reminds me every week, he’s pinned ever senior he’s faced so far. - LOL This was the perfect gift to commemorate his achievements.

5 out of 5 starsAnother order hit out of the park. I coordinated everything with the artist, and they did a more than phenomenal job. The material is durable, absolutely key importance when I am such a klutz, and it will definitely be handed down as an heirloom in the future. Or buried with me. I have not yet decided.

Frequently asked questions
Wholesale availability
I offer wholesale pricing on many items for group buys and brick and mortar shops. You can find my wholesale line sheets on the Etsy wholesale site. Contact me for more information.
Custom and personalized orders
Since almost everything I make is custom, the best way to order and let me know is to take a look at the options available in the item description for that listing.
Don't worry - I'll never make your order without checking for your personalization, if it was not included with your order.
I can make just about anything, so if you don't see what you want in my shop, just message me and I can discuss a quote, options, and even a custom listing should you wish.

My finishes here: bonniejeanmetalsmith.com/pages/finishes
My symbols here: bonniejeanmetalsmith.com/pages/symbols
Remember, not all fonts, finishes, or symbols are available on all pieces.
What is the timing of items you make? When will they ship?
Most retail items ship within about 1-2 weeks from order date. IF YOU NEED AN ITEM SOONER than the listed forging time, contact me - often I can get a single order out sooner if requested.
Exceptions: During busy holidays, it can take longer. If you are needing it for a specific occasion or date, check with me and make sure you'll receive it in time, or purchase express postage.
Sometimes, items ship SOONER, because they are ready-stock. If this is the case, the listing will state that.
Any any case - if you need something by a certain time - please contact me and double check. If I know, I can help. If I don't know... it is subject to fate.
Gift wrapping and packaging
Yes! All of our items arrive in professional packaging, with an information card about our items. Very suitable for gift giving. No receipt is included (saving a tree and also your recipient) because you can view it online at any time.
Gift cards handwritten upon request - no charge!
Sizing details
Since I actually hand- forge my items, most of them can be altered, changed, sized, etc. I try to be very thorough in my descriptions, but I encourage you to ask if you need a sizing exception. I can usually accommodate - and happily!
